Bachelor of Science Requirements

The Bachelor of Science in justice studies requires completion of university, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and justice studies requirements. Curriculum is determined by the student's catalog year. It is important to meet with an advisor each semester to help you understand and plan your degree program within the appropriate catalog year.

There will be opportunities to participate in research with a faculty member or internship, both locally or nationally, to gain experience in a field of interest you plan to pursue. Our honors program offers students the opportunity to complete honors credit in our courses, attend an honors colloquium, as well as work individually with faculty to conduct research for their honors thesis. Your justice studies advisor can help you plan these opportunities. Listed below are tools for understanding the processes and procedures to graduate and move beyond graduation.
