BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
The Criminal Justice Department is dedicated to helping students think critically and apply criminological theory to practical experience in service to the justice community and society. Upon completion, students will have mastered the knowledge, methods of inquiry, and intellectual skills pertinent to the study of the causes, consequences, and responses to crime and its interrelatedness to other areas of inquiry, including diversity and theories of criminology.
All courses focus on the study of crime and delinquency from a variety of perspectives: cause of crime, societal reaction, punishment and rehabilitation, as well as the philosophy and practice of social control and administration of justice. Students gain practical experience in the field where they apply criminological theory and provide service to the community. Emphasis is particularly placed on critical thinking and problem solving.
It is possible for students who plan carefully early in their college careers to double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology. Students who are interested in working with victims of crime and/or individuals who become involved in the criminal justice system may want to consider this option. For example, a possible career path might include working in a correctional facility and providing treatment counseling, which will require graduate work. To pursue this option, students should contact the Chair of either Criminal Justice or Psychology.
