The Associate of Arts in Criminology equips students for fulfilling careers in law enforcement, including roles like police officer, state trooper, corrections officer, or private security professional. This program also provides a foundation for pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a Criminology specialization. The integrated programs within the Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Criminology collectively support the College of Arts and Letters' mission while fostering interdisciplinary partnerships across campus. Our department emphasizes scholarly research, practical application, and community engagement. Communities serve as vital contexts for examining health disparities, social inequalities, and justice systems. This community-centered approach highlights sociology's value in analyzing societal structures, establishes social work's importance in child welfare, aging services, and LGBTQ+ advocacy, and positions criminology as essential for offender rehabilitation and community reintegration. Our research initiatives, grounded in DHHS Healthy People 2020 objectives, employ both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to advance theoretical frameworks and secure research grants.
Our department provides degree pathways including the Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (with optional Criminology focus), Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, Associate of Arts in Criminology, along with minor options in Sociology and Gender/Sexuality Studies.
