Minimum Requirements for Degree: 120 credits
The justice discipline represents a melding of theoretical and applied concepts, and both the B.A. degree in justice and the M.A. degree in administration of justice reflect that dichotomy. Consequently, students explore theoretical models associated with different aspects of the criminal justice system, and also study its structure and administration.
The applied nature of the degree results in graduates with a B.A. in justice who can compete for positions in various justice employment fields. Justice juniors and seniors also enjoy opportunities for internships with various justice agencies.
Justice courses are available online and in the classroom.
