Minor in Criminal Justice

About the Minor

The Criminal Justice minor provides students with a foundation in the study of law, crime, and the justice process, while examining how crime and justice policy intersect with broader social issues such as education, health, housing, and climate change. The minor complements a wide range of academic and professional interests through coursework that emphasizes critical thinking, analytical skills, and community engagement. Students may also choose to pursue community-based learning and analytical courses such as Crime Mapping or Justice in Our Community.

Admissions Requirements

Students are required to declare a major before declaring a minor. Students admitted directly into a specific major at the time of matriculation may declare a minor beginning in their second semester. All requirements for the minor must be completed either concurrently with or prior to the completion of the primary major requirements. This ensures that students fulfill the expectations of their primary field of study while completing any additional areas of academic specialization.
