Contact: Dr. Dawna Wensel,
The criminal justice major is designed to foster a broadly based understanding of the diverse nature of crime and justice and its relationship with society, with an emphasis on the components of policing, courts, and corrections.. The program goes beyond the narrow, practicum-oriented criminal justice requirements of many colleges and universities, allowing students to also explore interdisciplinary connections with other fields of study.
Students must take 48 total credits in the major. Seven courses (21 credits) are required for all criminal justice majors.

Please be advised
Please be advised that some programs or courses of study require that students complete rotations, fieldwork, internships/externships and/or teaching assignments at facilities external to the university, while other programs or courses of study may offer voluntary internships or externships at facilities external to the university. Depending on the program or course, such facilities will or may require a criminal background check, an act 33/34 clearance (if applicable), and perhaps a drug screen to determine participant qualification or eligibility.
