Program Overview

Drury offers a BA in Criminology and a BA in Criminal Justice. Criminology and criminal justice are closely related disciplines that overlap in some areas but are distinct in meaningful ways. Criminology focuses on the study of criminal behavior. It is an interdisciplinary field that studies the causes and consequences of crime and the origins and efficacy of crime prevention policies. Criminal justice is focused on examining the institutions that respond to crime and the relationships, behaviors, and responsibilities of the individuals who work for criminal justice agencies.

The BA in Criminal Justice is an appropriate degree for students who plan to go straight into the workforce after graduating. Students who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in criminology or criminal justice, going to law school, or working as a researcher or analyst for a criminal justice agency should consider completing the BA in Criminology.
