Criminal Justice Request Info


KU’s Criminal Justice programs offer both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. The BA emphasizes humanities perspectives, while the BS delivers more hands-on, lab-style learning. Both prepare students for leadership roles in law enforcement, courts, corrections, criminal policy and intelligence. Students complete a 12-hour concentration — such as Law Enforcement Leadership or Law and Society — to tailor the program to their career goals. Formats include fully online, fully in person on the Lawrence campus or online through the Edwards Campus.
