Department: Criminal Justice 

The criminal justice minor consists of six courses (18 credits).

The objective of the minor program is to provide a substantive area of study in criminal justice for students majoring in complementary disciplines such as sociology, political science, social work, economics, anthropology or psychology. Criminal justice education includes the scientific study of crime and delinquency, law‑making, punishment and the reintegration of the offender back into the community. Students in the minor program are required to take basic courses that will provide a theoretical and applied knowledge of the discipline.
