JUS - Justice Studies

Develop a thorough and nuanced understanding of the American justice system. Required courses in justice studies, history, civil rights, political science, psychology and sociology, along with electives in judicial reform, addiction studies and therapeutic treatment models provide a broad interdisciplinary review of the American system of social control. The emphasis of our program encourages students to think critically about alternative strategies that achieve social control in ways that produce just outcomes for victims and offenders.
