Criminology
The Criminology major at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College emphasizes a social science understanding of crime and criminal behavior with an emphasis on critical reading, writing and research. Students complete 24 credit hours of Criminology core courses and another 12 credit hours in their concentration area. Students may choose either a Psychology or a Sociology concentration. The hours completed in the concentration area can be tailored to fit the student’s particular area of interest, and these courses must be approved by the student’s academic advisor.
