This program provides a broad approach to understanding justice that includes the legal system and wider social contexts. To provide students with the analytical skills required of today's workforce, the BS degree program offers a social science focus and requires students to enroll in a quantitative data analysis course.

In this program, students use multiple research methodologies to understand social justice issues in diverse settings and working with a variety of people and cultures. The skills gained allow students to create real-world change.
