About Bachelor of Arts - Justice Studies

Program Description

Northeastern Illinois University’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Justice Studies program gives students the opportunity to examine the social and historical roots of justice, crime, and the law. Students seek to discover how these roots have shaped public policies, including those of the criminal justice system, and study systematic explanations for the failure—or triumph—of justice in society and explore the potential for transformative justice.

Through critical inquiry, social science investigation, and experiential learning, Justice Studies students develop an understanding of social and economic justice issues and critical criminology. For instance, criminology examines the structural roots of crime and takes up the legal and social concerns of diverse, urban, low-income, and disenfranchised communities, whose members are often heavily targeted by the criminal justice system.

All Justice Studies majors take six required courses plus eighteen credit hours of electives. Required classes include:

  • Introduction To Social Justice
  • Writing Intensive Program: Justice And Inequality
  • Theories Of Justice And Social Change
  • Research Methods In Justice Studies
  • Practicum In Justice Studies
  • Field Work Seminar
Some of the fascinating elective courses available in the Justice Studies Program include:

  • Theories of Criminal Behavior
  • White Collar Crime & Elite Deviance
