Ours is a culture fascinated by crime, criminal behavior and the justice system. The criminology major moves beyond simple fascination to investigate causes and prevention of criminal behavior, as well as the meaning and application of the legal process, law enforcement, court management and correctional treatment, as each affects the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
Internships.
Marquette’s competitive internship program offers our criminology majors experiences in Milwaukee-area law enforcement agencies, correctional settings, court offices and legal research bureaus.
Learn from the pros.
Your courses will be taught by some of the nation’s leading criminology scholars and field professionals. They have distinguished themselves in their fields, and their expertise has been sought by print media and television, including national programs such as NBC’s Dateline.
Thinking about law school?
When you combine the legal foundations of the criminology major with anthropology, history, philosophy or sociology, you will be well-equipped with the intellectual tools you’ll need for law school.
