Overview

This experiential learning of the Criminology and Justice Studies at Otterbein University is in support of the development of skills necessary to meet the demand for careers in criminal justice, law, government, public and nonprofit human services.

Features

The addition of “Justice Studies” broadens the major to include broader questions of justice and how our society does or does not allow for equal access to justice, not just in the criminal justice system, but in all aspects of society.

Thus students should be prepared for occupations outside of the criminal justice system (although all systems intertwine) in settings that work on these issues overall.
