Criminology (B.A.)

The Criminology program provides students with the basic tools for analysis and insight, including research methods (both quantitative and qualitative) and theory. Furthermore, our curriculum equips students to more effectively negotiate the diverse society in which we live by addressing social inequalities such as race/ethnicity, gender, and social class. Above all, the Criminology program, with its emphasis on writing, critical thinking, group dialogue, and one-on-one faculty mentorship, gives graduates the strong writing, research, and analytic skills that are increasingly attractive to employers in the information age.
