Minor

The justice studies minor is intended for students who are looking for careers in the justice system but do not have the time in their academic schedule to complete the dual major program.

Program Requirements

The Minor in Justice Studies requires students to take a total of 5 courses (20 credits), each completed with a grade of a C- or better. Students are not allowed to take more than 2 courses from any one department (except for the Justice Studies courses) to count towards their Minor.

For example: if you take POLT 507 or SOC 515 you will now only be allowed to take 1 more Political Science or 1 more Sociology course to count as 1 elective course.
