Criminal Justice, Behavior, and Law

The Criminal Justice, Behavior, and Law program offers an exciting and intellectually stimulating program for students to not only explore the criminal justice system but also explanations of criminal behavior and criminal law.

You will be able to generalize or focus in courses that specialize in criminal behavior (e.g. Sex Crimes and Paraphilia, Criminal Typologies, Forensic Behavioral Science), criminal law (e.g. substantive law, procedural law, international law), or the criminal justice system (e.g. police organization, institutional or community corrections, comparative criminal justice). Further, we offer an elective course on mapping and analyzing crime which will increase your competitiveness in the market of criminal justice. If you are interested we also offer a minor in Forensic Science.
