The Bachelor of Arts in Criminology at the University of Florida is offered through a department that combines sociology, criminology and law. Courses examine how law develops in society, why people violate laws, and how society responds.
The major requires a block of criminology courses plus an introductory statistics course. Students may count only a limited amount of lower-level work, and must earn a minimum grade of C in qualifying courses, with an internship course graded satisfactory. Relevant courses from other departments can help meet tracking requirements.
Graduates seek careers in courts, law enforcement, corrections and juvenile justice, or continue to law school or graduate research on criminological questions. The program is based on the Gainesville campus, and students complete university, college and major requirements together. Prospective applicants should consult the department and the undergraduate catalog for current course lists, specialization details and advising contacts before planning their studies.
