The criminal justice major is a four-year program with two different tracks:

• General Criminal Justice
• Law Enforcement

Since the criminal justice instructors are former or current practitioners, students have the opportunity to build professional contacts and to explore areas of interest throughout the criminal justice network. Students in both tracks are required to participate in the internship class, which collaborates with federal, state, county and local agencies to provide hands-on training and experience. The degree is granted upon completion of 125 credits as specified in the catalog (40 credits must be in 3000- or 4000-level courses).

• Natural World mathematics course in core curriculum: PSY3208.
• Social Science course in core curriculum: SOC1035.
• B.A. option requires achieving 1002-level competency in an approved foreign language. See the catalog.
