The Forensic Behavioral Sciences program caters to students fascinated by how behavioral sciences like Psychology, Anthropology, and Linguistics intersect with the criminal justice system. This degree also lays the foundation for those pursuing conventional criminal justice professions.
The Criminology major equips students for entry-level roles in criminal justice while providing a strong basis for advanced studies, including law school. Undergraduate Criminology courses blend theoretical knowledge with practical applications across multiple disciplines. The corrections track focuses on preparing students for probation, parole, correctional facilities, and related fields. The law enforcement path targets careers in federal, state, and local agencies or private sector security roles. The victimology specialization prepares students for work in domestic violence support, rape crisis centers, victim advocacy programs, and similar initiatives at various government levels or within community organizations. All three tracks - corrections, law enforcement, and victimology - mandate an internship component.
