Students in the major will examine all components of the criminal justice system, including law enforcement, the court system, and corrections. Courses in criminology, law, policing, corrections, and sociology help students develop as individuals and responsible citizens. Theoretical and applied learning courses build knowledge and skills applicable to a broad range of opportunities. The department has a long and rich tradition of preparing students for employment in academic, governmental, non-profit, and law enforcement organizations. Students are also encouraged and prepared to pursue graduate studies.
