The purpose of the criminal justice minor is to provide an appropriate foundation for students seeking employment in fields related to criminal justice such as law enforcement, corrections and probation. This minor assists students in developing the knowledge, values and ethical consciousness required for entry-level criminal justice jobs. Students are introduced to issues such as family violence, juvenile delinquency, crime measurement and causation, methods of crime control in a democratic society as well as the courts, police and corrections institutions.

For information on a major in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice, see the “Sociology” section of the catalog.
