Overview

The Criminology and Sociology Double Major program provides excellent preparation for students considering careers and/or advanced study in areas such as criminology, sociology, criminal justice, law, law enforcement, public health, business, and social services. Colorado State University Pueblo students who earn the double major will have the opportunity to develop proficiency with a range of theoretical and methodological tools used by both Criminologists and Sociologists, allowing them to think critically about the structural nature and complexities of social inequality and justice. Students engage in experiential learning through courses and in the internship program with placements in criminal justice, juvenile justice, victim advocacy, and community-based agencies.

Our program offers several learning formats. You can complete courses online or in a hybrid format with on-campus instruction. Criminology is also an external degree option through the Division of Extended Studies.
