Minor in Criminal Justice
The minor in criminal justice gives the student an overview of the criminal justice discipline. It includes an introductory course and a foundation course in each of the four areas recommended by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (i.e., penology, policing, constitutional law and juvenile justice). The remaining six hours give the student freedom to explore areas of interest in criminal justice. The minor requires 21 credit hours for completion. Grades of "C" or better required in all CRIM courses.
