About the course

The Criminal Justice concentration, housed in the Department of Criminology and Justice Studies, is designed as the most flexible of our three concentrations. The Criminal Justice concentration focuses its curriculum primarily on the substance of criminal justice institutions and crime and does not require many of the analytics and computer-based courses that the other two concentrations require. This concentration is primarily intended for students seeking to double major, prepare for law school, take on multiple minors (e.g., a language and legal studies), or for students who desire a traditional criminal justice education. Because the Criminal Justice concentration reserves 41.0 credits of free electives, it easily allows students to explore a wide range of curriculum opportunities throughout Drexel. Students in the Criminal Justice concentration often double major in Psychology, Behavioral Health, Legal Studies, Business, and Global Studies, and they often take on a language minor. Moreover, although the Criminal Justice concentration does not require as many of the analytical courses (e.g., Crime Mapping using Geographic Information Systems) as the other two concentrations do, it does allow students to take any number of those courses as electives while they pursue other curricular pathways.
