The Criminal Justice Studies Program (CJS) offers a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. The major is composed of an interdisciplinary curriculum comprised of faculty in sociology, anthropology, social work, political science, and psychology. We offer the following concentrations:

• Business Intelligence
• Criminal Justice Studies
• Cyber-Security Management
• Pre-Law

We offer numerous opportunities to engage in service learning and participate in our well-developed internship program that offers placements in community, corporate, or justice administration agencies at the local, state, or federal level.

Students successfully completing the Criminal Justice Studies major understand how historical, theoretical, ethical, legal and social justice concerns impact the justice system and can critically analyze and develop responses to justice challenges. They are able to use social science research methods to investigate justice problems. Our students develop professional skills in real-world settings and can effectively communicate their perspectives on complex justice issues to diverse audiences.

We also offer a minor in Criminal Justice Studies, which can complement any undergraduate degree program with 18-19 semester hours of coursework.
