Program Overview

Majoring in criminal justice will introduce you to many intellectual and practical challenges. You will learn not only why individuals commit crime, but also the practical strategies employed to prevent it. You will be able to pursue particular interests in criminal justice by choosing from a wide variety of elective courses or by combining criminal justice with a major or minor in disciplines ranging from theology and religious studies, history and international studies to political science, communications and psychology. Beyond the classroom, internships are available in law enforcement, government and social service agencies. Ample opportunities exist for community service and involvement.
