Criminal Justice
B.S. Undergraduate Program

Criminal justice is a broad field encompassing federal, state and local agencies in law enforcement, courts, corrections and juvenile justice as well as investigative, service delivery and administration careers in all public and private sectors. Some graduates pursue law degrees or graduate programs in advanced criminal justice management. The scope of the program includes:
  • A core courses covering surveys of the criminal justice system and criminological theory, research design and analysis, and a capstone course which integrates all these materials

  • Area courses that ensure the student's upper level work in criminal justice includes at least one course focusing on each of the major components of the criminal justice system (law enforcement, courts & law, and corrections) while minimizing possible course duplication with lower division courses taken elsewhere.

  • Elective courses in criminal justice ranging from prevention and comparative criminal justice to forensics. Students may also enroll in an internship to give them direct experience with an operational criminal justice agency.
The UB Criminal justice undergrad program is designed with the student in mind. Classes are offered day, evening and on weekends, all taught by the same highly qualified faculty at the Baltimore campus. For more information, contact Dr. Kathleen Block at (410) 837-6083 or kblock@ubalt.edu
