Bachelor of Arts in Criminology
Program Overview
Why do people commit crimes? What do communities and criminal justice agencies do to prevent and respond to crime? How should crime be punished? Criminologists explore criminal behavior and societies’ responses to crime. Without a clear understanding of why people commit crime, society cannot effectively rehabilitate criminals. Criminology is the study of crime as a complex and multi-layered social phenomenon including its causes and consequences. The criminology major offers coursework in criminal behavior, policy development and implementation, criminology-related research and theory and the impact of certain social problems and conflicts. Graduates may seek employment in a variety of careers, including occupations within the criminal justice system, social services, nonprofit, governmental and public and private research agencies at the local, state, national or international level. The program will also prepare students for graduate study.
