Criminal Justice Major

Upholding criminal justice is critical for a civilized society, and we’re connecting the dots between our current criminal justice system, theories of criminal behavior, law, administration, and policy.  

Our core curriculum provides a strong footing in criminological and legal theories, along with research methods in the social sciences. Together, we think outside the box, and look closely at conditions within the system while pursuing opportunities for meaningful change.

Forensics

This science-based focus gets you in our state-of-the-art lab to examine the techniques that help draw connections in the detection of crime. 

If this turns out to be your passion, we offer multiple elective courses in forensics and encourage you to combine CJS with biology or chemistry. 

Holocaust and Genocide Studies

As the first and only college in the nation with an undergraduate program in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Criminal Justice students gain an incredible unique perspective on how humans commit this level of violence.  

Studying how and why these events happen, you can take your knowledge on to governmental and non-governmental organizations active in the fields of international law, peacekeeping, and world-wide justice.   

Dual Major in Criminal Justice and Sociology
