Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice - Justice Studies

Students who earn a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Justice Studies complete a social science degree preparing them for justice-related careers across a wide array of organizations, graduate study, and/or law school. The Criminal Justice degree is recommended for students who desire an understanding of the criminal justice system and justice. While the Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice degree has different specializations, all the specializations focus in the first two years on general education and foundation criminal justice courses. The foundation criminal justice courses provide students with key information about the U.S. criminal justice system. In the last two years of the degree, students select a specialization, including the option of Justice Studies. The Justice Studies specialization explores issues of inequality, injustice, and social change in order to improve justice in society.

Students in the Justice Studies specialization take criminal justice courses addressing efforts to build and improve justice systems that ensure fairness, promote safety, and strengthen communities. Further, students take 21 units in courses in other programs to learn more about justice and justice related challenges in society. These 21 units are in four groupings of: Social Identities, Ethics & Rights,Conflict & Resolution, and
Institutions, Systems, & Global justice issues.
