College of Liberal Arts

The minor in criminal justice offers students the opportunity to become more knowledgeable in the field of criminal justice and its policy implications. It is available to students who are enrolled in baccalaureate programs other than the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice degree program. The minor can enhance the career opportunities for liberal arts and other majors.


Program Requirements


  • Each minor requires 15 credit hours of specified courses with a 2.00 grade point average. 
  • At least 6 resident credits must be at the 2000+ level.
  • Public Policy majors may only double-count 6 of the required 15 credit hours in other Public Policy major or minor requirements.
  • Students may earn more than one minor from Public Policy, but each minor must have at least 9 credit hours that are not satisfying other major or minor requirements.

Total Credits: 15


Student Responsibility


You are responsible for ensuring that you satisfy all graduation requirements specified for each selected program.  Thus, it is essential that you develop a thorough understanding of the required courses, academic policies, and procedures governing your academic career.  If you cannot complete all program requirements by your stated graduation date but fail to remove those from your plan of study, the Registrar’s Office in consultation with your academic advisor will remove unmet pursuits from your plan of study. Changing curricular records during the graduation term of application may affect state or federal financial aid awards. All requests for exceptions to specific requirements must be made in writing and may be granted only by written approval from the appropriate chair or dean.
