Starting Autumn 2014
Are you ready for an online degree?
UW Tacoma’s innovative Criminal Justice major emphasizes social justice, diversity, community partnerships, systems thinking and skill development. Students are sensitized to the human impact of crime, including differential impact across social identities and locations. A social justice lens is adopted, with a focus on harm reduction, rehabilitative, and restorative approaches to crime and justice.
The online Criminal Justice degree completion program follows the same curriculum and major requirements as the on-campus major. All 65 credits required for the major will be available online, alongside other online UW courses to help fulfill degree requirements.
The online major employs a cohort model and students move through the program together, building personal and professional networks.
