Overview

This interdisciplinary Criminology major at Manchester University encourages students to take courses in sociology, social work, psychology, and political science. Students are required to complete a practicum that provides the opportunity to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to a workplace setting. Observing and participating in a professional setting exposes students to relevant social service delivery systems and potential careers.

Degree options

The major in criminology seeks to provide the humanistic foundation for successful careers in areas such as mediation and conflict resolution, juvenile justice, victim assistance, private and public security, law enforcement, substance abuse prevention, rehabilitation counseling, and restorative justice.

A minor in criminology may complement majors in such areas as social work, management, history, political science, psychology, or sociology, and can serve as an academic foundation for advanced study in law, justice studies, social work, sociology, or public policy.

A two-year Associate of Arts degree is also available with the option of merging into a four-year degree.
