Program Description

Criminology and Criminal Justice (CCJ) are fields of study that incorporate an interdisciplinary perspective to examine the causes and correlates of criminal behavior, as well as the institutions that respond to such behavior. A degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice (BA) provides a comprehensive academic foundation into the nature of criminal offending, victimization, law enforcement, court administration, the law, and both community and institutional corrections.

Consistent with Saint Louis University’s Jesuit tradition, the criminology and criminal justice program seeks to strengthen the criminal justice systems and, more importantly, communities, by focusing on the factors that cause crime and violence and on the humanity of victims, offenders, and practitioners. This major is a good fit for students interested in legal studies, law enforcement at the local, state, or federal levels, and working with adults and/or juveniles in correctional settings, as well as those pursuing graduate education or a law degree.
