BA in Criminology and Criminal Justice

Eastern Michigan University

Our Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice program provides students with a multidisciplinary understanding of crime and justice within the framework of broader social processes. Our curriculum is a three-tiered structure composed of general education, a core curriculum, and selected concentrations. The typical student will move from general education to the core of the program and then into one of five specialized concentrations, where they will be introduced to courses on the principles and application of the chosen specialty. Our program provides several significant learning opportunities for our students. Provides students the opportunity to complete supervised internships at either a government or private agency that works with crime problems. Through these internship experiences, students gain first-hand experience in working on crime and justice issues and also have an opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom out in the community. Students in our program also have collaborated with faculty on research projects, and Criminology and Criminal Justice faculty frequently sponsor students at EMU’s annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.
