New Course
Crime and justice studies (CJS) offers a pre-law concentration for majors who are interested in legal analysis, law or graduate school, or careers in the legal professions. All course requirements within the CJS pre-law concentration fall within existing CJS major, college, and university studies requirements. Crime and justice studies majors who know they want to pursue a career in law may add a pre-law concentration to their degree to add additional focus on legal studies and entrance exam preparation in their coursework while requiring the same number of credits as the regular CJS major.
Students pursuing the BA in crime and justice studies with a pre-law concentration will:
- develop comprehensive perspectives on the various and, at times, conflicting expectations that exist within the institutions and agencies that comprise and work with the criminal justice system
- prepare to think critically and act effectively as an engaged citizen
- gain knowledge and skills toward understanding and transforming injustice
