Law & Justice Studies

The Law & Justice Studies program represents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of crime and the functioning of criminal law and the criminal justice system. It prepares students for professional careers in four major areas: law enforcement and security services, court services, corrections, and human services. Since many of the students who enter the program express an interest in preparation for graduate study and professional schools, the program also offers majors the rigorous preparation necessary to achieve such goals.

The program admits high school graduates at the freshman level and transfer students from community and four-year colleges. Before admitted students enroll in classes, they will be contacted by their advisor. The advisor develops with the student an individualized program of study and will be available to students throughout their time at Rowan. An internship in an appropriate criminal justice or related agency is required in order to provide students with experience, making their classwork more meaningful.
