Politics, Law and Justice - Criminal Justice

UW-Superior offers a Legal Studies major with a concentration in Criminal Justice. The Criminal Justice program provides a social science approach to understanding the nature of crime and how society responds to it. The concentration offers separate tracks for students interested in law enforcement, law and court processing, adult and juvenile corrections, and graduate education.

The Criminal Justice curriculum is both broad and deep, enabling students to critically reflect on the complexity of crime as well as society's responses to it. In addition to classes in criminal justice and legal studies, students complete courses in sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, social work, and Spanish. This enables them to achieve a global view of the problem and its solution as well as to probe critical areas.

Graduates of this program are highly successful in pursuing careers in law, corrections, probation, law enforcement, teaching, and other fields. The program also is excellent preparation for graduate school or law school.
