Because criminal justice is a multidisciplinary major, many students use some of their 21 hours of major electives toward a second major or a minor. The most common of these, since they include criminal justice major electives, are anthropology, human development, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. Students should consult the College Catalog for the requirements for majors in these fields.

​Every public justice major has the opportunity to design his or her own individualized program that best meets his or her needs and interests. All public justice students take the same five core courses, but the possible combinations of electives are limited only by each student's imagination, initiative, and schedule.

Below is the writing plan for the Criminal Justice Department. Please see your faculty advisor to learn how this affects you as a criminal justice major.

No one pre-law major guarantees entry into law school or ensures competent performance in law studies. Criminal justice is a good choice for students preparing for law school because it stresses breadth of knowledge and intellectual flexibility.
