| Criminal Justice Program Description |
| McDaniel is proposing a free-standing Criminal Justice major within the Sociology department which would better reflect the current best practices in the discipline. McDaniel College has offered a major in Sociology with a specialization in Criminal Justice Studies for nearly half a decade. Maintaining a Criminal Justice major as embedded within Sociology preserves the Liberal Arts nature of the degree as recommended by the American Sociological Association. <br> <br>The major requires 48 core credits. These courses provide students with the breadth of sociological knowledge about human behavior emphasizing the key elements of race, class, and gender. The remaining classes draw on the existing expertise about criminal justice from faculty in the departments of Political Science, Religion, or Philosophy as well as practicing law enforcement officials in the community. |
