UMass Lowell offers a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology that will prepare our students for successful, exciting careers in the field of criminal justice.
The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology offers a strong concentration in professional courses while simultaneously assuring the student a traditional, well-rounded liberal arts education.
To provide education on the many key areas of the criminal justice system, we offer five degree concentrations:
We provide students with coursework in the following substantive areas:
Upper level students will take a three or six credit Practicum/Field Placement to assess their interest and apply their classroom knowledge in an area of criminal justice. Like other academic fields, our school does not offer courses nor award credit for vocational training courses designed for specific job preparation or advanced job training. These courses are characterized by training for specific job skills rather than education involving conceptual learning.
In addition, students majoring in criminal justice will fulfill a professional skills requirement. This consists of either attaining intermediate proficiency in a foreign language, or completing four courses in computers and statistics. In the event that a student chooses a foreign language skill, the school recommends Arabic or Spanish. A strength of our school is its emphasis on students developing applied skills in areas such as information technology and data analysis.
