Minor in Criminal Justice


Program Overview

A Minor in Criminal Justice helps students learn about various aspects of the criminal justice systems and crime. Students may choose to focus on a particular part of the system or learn about many aspects to include law enforcement, corrections, and the administration of justice. The minor is a great addition for students whose careers may have them interact with those in the criminal justice system including biology, chemistry, english, political science, psychological sciences, social work, sociology, and more. Our minor is interdisciplinary and includes courses in criminal justice, sociology, political science, and psychology.

It is the responsibility of the student to initiate and maintain contact with an advisor to insure the proper selection and sequence of courses.
