Criminology and Criminal Justice
Cal Lutheran and the Criminology and Criminal Justice department are preparing me for success in my future career by providing a high quality education that includes studying a variety of important subjects within Criminology and Criminal Justice. Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in this program are ‘Criminology’, ‘Contemporary Corrections’, ‘Family Violence’, ‘Substance Abuse’, and ‘Deviance in U.S. Society’. All of these classes have provided invaluable knowledge that will be very useful in my career.
