 Return to: Programs of Study
The objective of the criminology and criminal justice major is to prepare students for work in the criminal justice system, including jobs in local, state, and federal law enforcement, corrections, and probation and parole. The major also is appropriate preparation for graduate study in the social sciences and law. The major gives students a strong foundation in criminology and sociology while simultaneously emphasizing how academic knowledge can be applied in occupational settings. Skills can be developed in oral and written communication, critical thinking, scientific research methods, statistics and computerized data analysis.
Current Longwood students with a GPA below 2.50 will not be accepted as Criminology/Criminal Justice majors. Students may reapply after their GPA has increased to 2.50.
