Criminology
Criminology
Criminology focuses on describing different types of crime and causes of criminal behavior, while criminal justice refers to the system in which criminals are processed and punished. Students with a criminology minor could pursue job opportunities in social and human service occupations related to criminal, juvenile, and social justice. The minor prepares students for a wide variety of career options and provides an excellent basis for graduate study in criminology, other social sciences, and law.
