If you’re interested in law school, graduate level work in criminology and criminal justice or a career in local, state or federal law enforcement, corrections or court related agencies, this is the right major for you. The multidisciplinary criminal justice curriculum is designed to familiarize students with the complex nature of the American criminal justice system.

Criminal justice, comprehensive major

60 credits/no minor required

This program allows students to master important interdisciplinary concepts though a liberal arts-based approach. Students not only learn necessary facts, theories, and ideas, but also develop analysis and critical thinking skills that will assist them in whatever future challenges they confront. Students can choose to earn a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice. The criminal justice program is exactly the same for both degrees. The only differences are with specific university requirements. For example, Bachelor of Arts students are required to earn competency in two semesters of a foreign language (or three semesters of American Sign Language) while Bachelor of Science students are required to earn competency in a higher-level of math (Math 111, 112, or 113).
