The Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Justice Studies employs a multidisciplinary perspective to examine crime, legal systems, and justice. Instructors analyze criminal behavior, social deviance, and institutional responses through lenses of sociology, political science, psychology, and conventional criminal justice frameworks. The program establishes a solid foundation in criminal justice institutions while incorporating criminological theories and diversity studies to explore intricate connections between individuals, communities, and justice systems. Emphasis is placed on developing strong writing abilities and critical analysis. Internship opportunities allow students to gain practical experience.
With guidance from faculty advisors or the undergraduate coordinator, students choose at least one specialization area. These academic consultations help learners select optimal course combinations to enhance their career readiness and graduate school prospects.
The Policing specialization prepares students for careers in law enforcement and related public safety fields.
