The criminology and criminal justice curriculum provides students with a multidisciplinary understanding of crime and justice within the framework of broader social processes. This curriculum is a three-tiered structure composed of general education, a core curriculum and selected concentrations. The typical student will move from general education to the core of the program and then into one of four specialized concentrations, where he or she will be introduced to courses on the principles and application of the chosen specialty.

The curriculum for general education includes introductory courses in the fundamental social science disciplines of sociology and psychology. The core of the curriculum consists of a number of related courses that will build a foundation of social science education emphasizing analytical and conceptual skills. The pivotal course is CRM 301 Criminology, a multidisciplinary perspective on the nature, extent and causes of crime. CRM 300 Criminal Justice and CRM 301 Criminology should be the first core courses taken by the typical student. The third and final tier of the curriculum consists of 21 hours in one of four concentrations. These concentrations contain some courses without criminological content that provide students with professionally relevant occupational knowledge and skills.

Students completing the curriculum will have satisfied all major and minor requirements for graduation. No additional minor is required.

An active articulation agreement exists between this program and the Washtenaw Community College.
