Criminology (Bachelor of Arts)

Criminology as a field integrates the study of the criminal mind, the causes of crime and delinquency, an understanding of the criminal justice system as well as how criminals are perceived in society. Because Cottey is a liberal arts institution, the criminology program emphasizes critical thinking through interdisciplinary perspectives rather than vocational training solely in criminal justice. Students intern with local agencies at which they gain direct experience and practical skills.
