    Program Description

    This major explores every dimension of criminal justice, from the sociological causes that lead to crime to the evaluation of specific public policies and their effectiveness. We prepare you for a career in law enforcement, social work, international peacekeeping and other related areas.

    You’ll study criminal behavior, sexual violence and issues of fairness in the legal and criminal justice systems. You also learn about investigative techniques, new technological developments in forensics and modern threats such as cybercrime, which has become a global problem.
