Welcome to Criminal Justice Studies!
Criminal Justice Studies offers a major, a minor and partnerships with several other interdisciplinary minors, such as Forensics, Pre-Law and Women’s Studies. We also offer an online Master’s degree program focusing on Criminal Justice Policy.
Criminal Justice Studies is a popular major with many real-world issues to consider and a wide variety of jobs to pursue once you’ve earned your degree. You’ll study with a cohort of peers who share your interest in the processes, current events, debates and structures of our American Criminal Justice System. Classes are taught by full-time tenured or tenure-track professors with PhDs. Toward the end of your degree, you’ll gain real-world experience through an internship with a criminal justice agency.
