Undergraduate Program in Criminal Justice
Program of Study
The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree offers students broad academic exposure to the field of criminal justice and provides some opportunity for concentrated study in their areas of interest.
The primary mission of the program is to educate students by developing in them the basic skills and knowledge necessary in the field of criminal justice, including (1) major theoretical explanations for crime/delinquency; (2) the logic and procedures associated with the research process, including understanding statistical inference and hypothesis testing; (3) the substantive, procedural, and operational aspects of the criminal justice system and its processes; and (4) the ethical foundations for the system, its agencies, and personnel. Each of these areas is developed through activities that are associated with specific courses in the curriculum. See description at the Department's Matrix of Learning Outcomes.
