The new Criminal Justice Major will provide students with a degree that provides a specialized focus on the Criminal Justice system. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in and related to the criminal justice system. In contrast to the existing Criminology program, the Criminal Justice major contains more specified course requirements, and has an internship/practicum rather than a research capstone. Additionally, this Major has two tracks: General Criminal Justice along with Cyber and Corporate Crime. The combination of specified courses, new courses, and an internship/practicum capstone provides students with defined steps that lead towards career goals in and related to the criminal justice system
