The Criminal Justice minor offers opportunities for students to examine society’s perceptions of crime and law enforcement. They will also learn about the various elements of the Criminal Justice system and explore changing and current critical issues in the field. This program is essential for individuals who work or aspire to work in law enforcement and want to gain a deeper understanding of roles in law enforcement, advance their knowledge levels and skill sets, and potentially expand their careers. The Criminal Justice minor is very compatible with the Human Services minor and/or many other minors offered in the IDS program. These Criminal Justice courses are also compatible with SJC’s on-campus Criminal Justice requirements.
