The undergraduate program in Criminal Justice and Criminology addresses issues confronting the entire criminal justice system, from the nature of crime and delinquency, to society’s varied responses to it.  A Major in Criminal Justice provides a broad educational background emphasizing social science and basic knowledge regarding crime and social control.  Students at UNC Charlotte learn about crime as a social problem, develop a critical understanding of the criminal justice system, address problems faced by the victim, and study the principles involved in achieving planned change.

The department also offers a Minor in Criminal Justice and a Master of Science degree program in Criminal Justice.  Please see the UNC Charlotte Graduate Catalog for details on the M.S. degree.
