Non-Majors: Students DO NOT have to be Criminal Justice majors to enroll in Criminal Justice degree courses.

Program Description: This degree program is concerned with: (1) the concept of justice— its implications, its practice, and its demands in relation to the social, political, legal, and economic institutions that define our society, AND (2) the concept of how to humanely deal with those who come in contact with any aspect of the justice system.

Assessment Guidelines: Degree seeking students who do not assess at the college level in English, math or reading will take the required remedial coursework within the first 30 semester hours after declaring the degree in any deficient area or demonstrate proficiency through Aims assessment policy. Remedial courses may be taken concurrently with criminal justice courses as long as the 30 semester hour requirement is met. Contact your Criminal Justice advisor or the AimsTesting Center for additional information of college level assessment.
