Are you interested in a career in law enforcement, probation, corrections, profiling, crime prevention, forensics and other related professions? You can major in either psychology or sociology with a concentration in criminal justice.
Hands-on experience is a key element of our criminal justice program. Students get hands-on experience through internships in local police departments. Our professors teach on the basis of their hands-on experience because they have spent decades working as police officers and bring that knowledge directly into the classroom.
Linking the criminal justice concentration with a sociology or psychology major develops interpersonal and critical thinking skills that facilitate employment. Additionally, graduates are prepared for employment in many areas besides criminal justice.
