Criminal Justice Degree Online

Why do some people break the law?

USM’s Bachelor of Arts degree program in criminology attempts to answer this question and so much more. But how does it work?

As an applied discipline, criminology is a unique combination of sociology, law, psychology, social work and science that analyzes how laws are created, why laws are broken and eactions of society to broken laws.

As a criminology student at USM, you’ll gain the expertise necessary to enter a highly competitive, demanding, yet rewarding
career.

Experienced, quality and dedicated professors lead your discussion in a small-class size environment. In addition to 21 hours of core criminology courses, three areas of focus are available so you can make the program your own!
