The mission of the undergraduate program in Criminal
Justice is to foster a comprehensive understanding of the nature of
crime, criminals, and criminal law; the goals, organizations, occupations,
and rules that make up the criminal justice system; and the methods
of learning that are utilized by scholars of crime and criminal justice.
The Bachelor of Arts program enables students to learn how different
academic disciplines approach the study of crime and criminal justice
and to understand the kinds of questions and problems that shape developments
in research, practice, and reform.
