Criminology Undergraduate Program

Criminology is the study of crime and criminal behavior. The criminology program focuses on crime as a social phenonmenon and the causes of criminal behavior. The major provides an overview of institutions, issues and causes of crime, and social control; it also offers a strong foundation in liberal arts, a basic knowledge of behavioral sciences, and a strong professional growth potential for those pursuing a career in criminology or the criminal justice system. Many criminology majors enter law, law enforcement, corrections and other social service careers or graduate school. The criminology program is not training police officers, but rather is a liberal arts B.A. degree program offered through the College of Liberal Arts.
