The Bachelor of Science in Criminology combines crime theory, forensic social science and applied investigation skills. Students gain practical knowledge that prepares them for immediate entry into the workforce or advanced graduate education.

Criminology is a rapidly expanding field with careers in crime prevention, insurance fraud investigation, law enforcement, urban crisis response, juvenile justice systems, corrections, research and diversion programming and homeland security.

This degree provides strong preparation for careers that work directly with justice systems, vulnerable populations and legal institutions.

Geospatial Criminology places students at the cutting edge of criminal investigation and public safety. This innovative major combines crime theory with geographic information sciences (GIS), teaching students how law enforcement agencies use data to: identify crime patterns, confirm suspect alibis, locate at-risk areas and develop strategic prevention plans.

Local, state, national and international agencies rely on GIS technology daily, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, United States Department of Homeland Security, Los Angeles Police Department and the United States Armed Forces.

The U.S. Department of Labor has identified geospatial technology as one of the fastest-growing emerging industries. As data-driven policing and investigation expand, so does demand for professionals trained in GIS applications.

Students interested in becoming corrections officers, special agents, local police officers or intelligence professionals gain a competitive edge through this specialized training.

The Criminology minor offers students a focused introduction to the study of crime, justice systems and social responses to criminal behavior. Through a combination of foundational and upper-division coursework, students build analytical and practical skills in areas such as criminal profiling, forensic investigation and the broader social contexts of crime.

Requiring 18 units, the minor is an excellent complement to majors such as sociology, psychology or political science, and prepares students to engage thoughtfully with issues related to public safety, justice and community well-being.

Geographic Information Systems combines spatial theory, mapping, data analysis, GPS and cartographic design to understand real-world patterns. GIS software visualizes data like crime, healthcare access and market trends. A GIS minor builds in-demand data and tech skills, preparing you for careers in urban planning, business, public health and more. No advanced math required.
