Criminology Minor
The Millersville University criminology program provides students with an opportunity to study criminal behavior and the operation of the criminal justice system within a broad sociological context. The combination of a criminology focus with the development of sociological research skills provides excellent preparation for a wide range of criminal justice careers as well as for graduate and professional school. The minor courses cover theories of criminal behavior, policing, the courts, corrections, and other crime related topics. Students who minor in Criminology may also complete an internship in a criminal justice setting as part of their course work for the minor.
