| "Criminal Justice/Legal Studies is an interdisciplinary curriculum
providing preparation for careers in law enforcement, juvenile justice, court
administration, corrections officers or administrators, and human services." It is
a liberal arts major which also prepares students for graduate school. Criminal
Justice/Legal Studies majors pursue targeted, coordinated study of the basic theories and
current practices of three disciplines which are mainstays of the criminal justice
field-Political Science, Sociology, and Psychology.
Criminal Justice/Legal Studies classes at Methodist College are small, allowing ample
opportunity for discussion of theories and practices being studied. Students have a
variety of learning opportunities, including frequent classes with practitioners in the
field, trips to criminal justice and legal agencies, computer applications, and in-class
simulations." |
