The Criminology and Justice Studies minor aligns well for students in psychology, sociology, political science and applied conflict management majors, as well as for those students interested in forensics or federal law enforcement. The program provides students with a broad understanding of the functions, roles and critical issues within all of the components of criminal, juvenile and civil justice.
