Criminalistics Minor
The Criminalistics minor program is designed to complement the Criminal Justice Major. Students who combine these two disciplines in a major/minor program receive a broad law enforcement background with understanding of all phases of criminal investigation. The required courses teach many of the same scientific principles as the major but at a level understood by the student with little scientific background.
