Welcome to the Department of Criminology,
Law and Society! The Department supports the largest interdisciplinary
degree program here at the University of Florida. The criminology major
is intended to introduce students to the study of criminal behavior,
criminal justice systems, and law from a multidisciplinary,
liberal-arts perspective.
With over 600 undergraduate majors, we are one of the largest majors in
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Our faculty prides itself on
the quality of its teaching. You can examine a list of all our courses
to see the diverse range of offering in the Department. Through
independent studies, honors theses, and internships, you will have the
opportunity to go beyond the classroom to explore the possibilities of
criminal justice and criminology.
Please note that criminology is a limited-access major! To ensure the
quality of the degree program, the Department has adopted a selective
policy for continuation in the major beyond semester four.
