Criminology investigates crime as a multifaceted social issue, analyzing its origins and effects. The Criminology program provides courses on criminal conduct, policy creation and execution, research methodologies, and how social issues influence crime. Graduates can pursue diverse career paths in criminal justice, social services, nonprofits, government agencies, or research organizations at various levels.
