The purpose of the Criminology major is to produce students who can use their knowledge for successful careers related to law, law enforcement (corrections, policing, etc.), criminology, government service, homeland security, or social service agencies with prevention programs for at-risk youth or working with populations having criminal behaviors.
The major seeks to create critical thinkers who can analyze the subject of security from multiple perspectives and within local, state, national, and international contexts-all increasingly blurred in today's globalized world.
