Criminal Justice Major
Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
The Criminal Justice major is a four-year program that consists of two tracks: general criminal justice and law enforcement. Since the criminal justice instructors are former or current practitioners, opportunities are provided for students to build professional contacts and to explore areas of interest throughout the criminal justice network. Students in both tracks are required to participate in the internship class, which collaborates with federal, state, county and local agencies to provide hands-on training and experience. The degree is granted upon completion of 125 credits as specified on page 42 of the catalog (40 credits must be in 3000- or 4000-level courses).
- Natural World mathematics course in core curriculum: PSY3208.
- Social Science course in core curriculum: SOC1035.
- B.A. option requires achieving 1002-level competency in an approved foreign language. See pages 40 and 41 of the catalog.
