Administration of Justice Minor


Banner Code: ADJ

This minor develops knowledge of the principles, institutions, and practices for systems of administering justice. It provides a solid foundation for students seeking to supplement their major area of study, develop  knowledge and skills needed for justice-related occupations, or lay the foundation for possible graduate study in the justice field. Students first obtain an overview of the justice system, learn legal or ethical standards by which to judge the behavior of justice practitioners, and then develop advanced knowledge of selected features of the justice system.

Students should plan their course of study with an Administration of Justice faculty advisor who will be assigned by the program. The minor must be approved by the Administration of Justice Program before graduation. 

This program of study is offered by the Department of Administration of Justice .

For policies governing all minors, see the Academic Policies  chapter of this catalog.
