Criminology (BA)
Criminology is the scientific study of crime from a social and individual perspective that encourages students to think critically about the causation, correction and prevention of crime.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Criminology provides a professional orientation that will be relevant to your occupational goals as well as your participation as a citizen in community affairs. Students will gain a foundation for understanding the causes, correction and prevention of crime and the agencies involved in criminal justice. More specific areas of study concern deviance, juvenile delinquency, the court system, and correctional facilities.Ìý
Our students complete a 120 hour internship with a criminal justice field agency during their senior year. Students also have the opportunity to join the Criminal Justice Club (CJC), a student-maintained club that aims to provide students of all majors an environment in which to further foster their interests, meet like-minded peers, and allow them the opportunity to network within the field.
