The multidisciplinary program meets the needs of undergraduate students interested in entering the fields of law enforcement, the courts, corrections, probation, parole, social services, youth services, public policy, research, non-profit, and non-governmental or community organizations.
All students are required to complete a senior year internship to explore career options, gain real-world experience, network, and develop professional skills.
Students pursuing the BA in Crime & Justice Studies:
- develop comprehensive perspectives on the various and, at times, conflicting expectations that exist within the institutions and agencies that comprise and work with the criminal justice system
- engage in cross-agency dialogues within the classroom before they enter the workforce
- learn to identify and analyze structural, institutional, and transnational violence
- gain knowledge and skills toward understanding and transforming injustice
- prepare themselves to contribute to the improvement of their communities and society
Graduates have careers in law enforcement, courts, corrections, public administration, law, social services, youth services, nonprofit or non-governmental agencies, and community organizations. A growing number of CJS graduates have gone on to complete graduate degrees in law, master's, and various doctoral programs.
