B.A. in Criminal Justice

... United States
... Elmira College

Course Overview

Crime is not simple. The Criminal Justice program at Elmira College aspires to cultivate creative and original thinking about one of our time's most challenging social problems. Students are challenged from day one to understand and investigate criminological theory, learn criminal law and procedure, study the behaviors of victims and offenders, and even how to process a homicide scene. Criminal justice is a discipline that explores both theory and practical application of the many sub-disciplines it encompasses. Core classes provide a mastery of the major works and theories of criminology, policing, corrections, judicial studies, quantitative analysis, and behavioral analysis. Students are then able to select from numerous electives to make their experience unique to their career goals. Students majoring in criminal justice have gone on to federal, state, and local law enforcement, graduate school, law school, social work, and many other related professions. Students often double major in criminal justice and another in the social sciences (i.e., psychology, social work, etc.). Recently, some students interested in law school have triple majored in criminal justice, legal studies, and political science – while graduating early.
