University Majors

California State University, Long Beach
Criminal Justice B.S.

The program in criminal justice offers the bachelor of science degree to individuals interested in
seeking a comprehensive education leading to a professional career in criminal justice. The program is designed to accommodate the needs of the continuing student, the transfer student, and the experienced criminal justice practitioner. Unfortunately, it is not possible to always offer sufficient courses in the evenings for students to graduate with a degree in criminal justice.
Students intending to transfer from community colleges to this University for a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice are advised to complete general education requirements while attending the community college. A course equivalent to CRIM 101, The Criminal Justice System in Society, should be taken while attending community college. Other criminal justice courses taken at community colleges will only be accepted as lower division electives provided the college where they were taken designated them as transferable to CSU. These courses can not be substituted for upper division criminal justice courses.
