Crime Analysis

College graduates who hold a bachelor’s degree in any field can earn a crime analysis certificate. Students entering the crime analysis certificate program will be placed in one of the two tracks (A or B) at the discretion of the criminal justice department chair.

Note: This is an undergraduate crime analysis certificate that can be completed after earning a bachelor’s degree. It does not count toward the MS in Criminal Justice crime analytics concentration. Current undergraduate criminal justice and criminology students may take the same courses to specialize in crime analysis.
