Adelphi offers a redesigned undergraduate major in Criminal Justice leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, with a concentration in either Police Science or Social Science. The program provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of crime, delinquency, and social control and prepares students for graduate work or professional training.
Introduced in fall 2004, this revised major combines traditional liberal arts classes with courses in criminology, sociology of law, psychology, and law enforcement administration. The following six new classes have been added to the curriculum:
- Crime and Punishment
- Juvenile Delinquency
- Gender Issues in Criminal Justice
- Law and Social Inequality
- Psychology of Criminal Behavior
- Sociology of Law
The major is interdisciplinary in nature. Students may select courses in Adult Academic Programs in University College, the Derner Institute, the School of Social Work, and the departments of anthropology, political science, and sociology. Many of the required courses will be cross-listed, enabling students to receive credit toward their degree through University College or the College of Arts and Sciences.
