The Criminal Justice major is an interdisciplinary social science curriculum that is focused on the development of practical skills and knowledge for professional careers in the justice field. Students' studies focus on law enforcement, corrections, courts, juvenile justice, criminology, victimology, and research methods to study crime, criminal and abnormal behavior, and society's response to these dynamics. Criminal Justice majors are encouraged to take Spanish in their general studies program.
Please note: The following requirements are effective beginning Fall 2011. Students must also complete the General Studies Program and other requirements.
