The Justice Studies prepares students for transfer into a baccalaureate major such as criminal justice, criminology, law, or government. Career professionals in these fields work with a diverse public and address a variety of social issues. The social and behavioral sciences are thus combined with appropriate criminal justice courses. The liberal arts basis of this concentration also prepares students for transfer into many other majors.
