Overview

Continued development in the field of Criminology ushered in programmatic changes with the broadening of course offerings in Social Welfare and Criminal Justice. The expansion of the Social Welfare program offered courses in the area of social sciences and growth in the Criminal Justice industry.

The Department was reorganized to form two separate majors, Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Bachelor of Criminal Justice. In 1990, the Department of Social Work and the Department of Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Social Welfare detached into independent programs within the College of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities (formerly known as the College of Arts and Sciences). Henceforth creating the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University.
