The Criminology major is designed to provide an education exploring empirical and theoretical approaches to crime and criminal behavior.
As an interdisciplinary major, this program draws on introductory and advanced courses across fields of study including criminology, psychology, sociology, and the sciences. These courses emphasize foundational and advanced skills-based learning, critical thinking, and analysis. Students who major in Criminology will also have the opportunity to engage in experiential learning opportunities or conduct research independently or with guided faculty mentorship.
Expect Challenge. Achieve Distinction.
