Criminal Justice and Criminology, Minor

  • Overview
  • Requirements

The minor in criminal justice is a strong complement for students studying journalism, politics, sociology, social work, political science, or philosophy; students who plan on attending law school; and students who seek careers in public service.

The Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology offers a specialization, a minor, and a post-baccalaureate certificate in Crime Analysis. Crime analysts gather crime and disorder data, identify and analyze patterns, trends and problems, develop recommendations based on their findings, and create and disseminate information that helps criminal justice agencies address crime and allocate resources.

A sequence of courses will lead to a specialization in this growing area. Preparation includes a foundation in criminal justice and research methods; specialized coursework in crime analysis, analysis-oriented technology, and data-driven policing; and field placement in an agency setting with practicing professionals.
