CRIMINOLOGY | Sample Course Plan C (Lighter Option)
Here is an example course plan for students who elect to complete a Major in Criminology by taking the minimum required courses each year to maintain full-time student status. This is an excellent option for students who require more flexibility due to personal, family or career commitments. It will take five to six years to complete your degree using this plan.
Be sure to see a criminology academic advisor early in your studies, ideally in your first year, to make sure you are on the right track. Continue to check-in with an advisor throughout your studies with any questions or concerns relating to your academic career.
See our Program Completion Check Sheets for a helpful checklist to ensure you've completed all the required courses for your degree.
