Bachelor of Science Human Services and Criminal Justice

A combined major in human services and criminal justice will present students with an opportunity to gain both a conceptual-theoretical understanding of both types of agencies and the real-world link through various co-op experiences. There is considerable overlap in the populations served by the criminal justice system and various human services agencies. Leadership positions in either type of agency will require individuals who have a firm understanding of how cultural, social, economic, and political contexts affect the daily and long-term organization and operation of both types of agencies.
