Criminology

Administered by the Department of Sociology

Associate Professor Gurevich, Director

Criminology studies the presence and consequences of crime in society. The criminology program offers both the major and the minor for undergraduate students interested in this important and exciting field. It is interdisciplinary and strongly based in the liberal arts. It offers a broad array of courses from the social sciences, physical sciences, and humanities in disciplines such as sociology, psychology, philosophy, political science, forensics and linguistics. The program is designed to provide students with sound methodological and analytic skills, leading to a critical understanding of crime, the operation of the criminal justice system, and the interrelationships among social, political, economic, legal, behavioral, and ethical factors bearing on the sources of and societal responses to criminal activity.

The criminology program and courses can be found under the sociology links above.
