Criminology & Criminal Justice Major

The Comparative Criminal Justice class at Wroxton College in England in August 2024, led by Dr. Doug Evans and Ms. Benita Wyche.

The mission of the Criminology and Criminal Justice major is to provide students with a comprehensive education that skillfully integrates theory and application into a holistic and interdisciplinary course of study that prepares students for graduate and law school, and a host of wide-ranging career opportunities within government, non-governmental organizations, non-profit organizations, the private sector, and a wide array of social, philanthropic, and public service agencies both domestically and internationally.

The programmatic learning outcomes focus on developing competency in the areas of knowledge and understanding, effective communication, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, ethical and principled behavior, social research, and professional development. In addition to developing these sought after skills sets and competencies, the department focuses on preparing students on securing careers and continuing onto graduate and law school.

Students will have the benefit of a diverse and interdisciplinary faculty with broad range of experiences and specializations. Some of these include criminologists, criminalists, political scientists, forensic psychologists, counsellors, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, federal agents, ambassadors and diplomats, and a wide variety of practicing professionals from local, state, federal, and international agencies.
