The criminal justice major is offered through the Sociology Department. The program is designed to provide students with an understanding of the problems of crime, delinquency, law, and social control. The major combines a strong liberal arts background with specialized courses in law, criminology, sociology, psychology, and law enforcement administration. The overall objective of the program is to provide a sound educational basis for either graduate work or professional training.

The major is interdisciplinary in nature, and students may select courses in the Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies and the Departments of Anthropology, Political Science, and Sociology. Many of the required courses are cross-listed, enabling students to receive credit toward their degrees through the College of Arts and Sciences.
