The Bachelor of Arts in Criminology online is not a typical Criminal Justice degree. It offers you a deeper understanding of the big picture of crime and its social contexts, particularly how inequalities (race, class, gender, sexualities), the role of individual background, and social forces intersect. You will learn about the underlying sociological factors that lead to delinquent behaviors—and what can be done to reverse these trends. This degree can help you move into advanced studies in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, public health, public administration or psychology. Graduates of the B.A. in Criminology are prepared to enter many public service fields, including local, state and federal government or local police departments.
