Criminal Justice Studies Minor
The Criminal Justice minor develops students’ knowledge and skills related to justice (and injustice) in contemporary society, providing them with a liberal arts foundation for work in criminal justice and related fields. Required courses introduce students to the study of justice as a sociological issue. Electives offer opportunities to focus on justice and injustice from a variety of disciplinary and subject matter perspectives. The internship requirement enables students to put their academic learning into practice through hands-on justice-related work.
