Understanding crime, justice, and impact at Mount St. Joseph University
The Criminology program at Mount St. Joseph University highlights how students explore the causes of crime, the behavior of offenders, and the systems designed to maintain justice.
At the Mount, criminology goes beyond textbooks—students examine real-world issues through a mix of theory, research, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes understanding how and why crime happens, while also exploring how society responds through law enforcement, courts, and corrections.
Students can tailor their experience through specialized concentrations like Justice Studies, Victimology, or Fraud and Financial Crimes, preparing them for a wide range of careers or graduate study.
With opportunities for internships, service learning, and close faculty mentorship, MSJ’s Criminology program equips students with the analytical, ethical, and practical skills needed to make a difference in their communities and the broader criminal justice field.
