Internships

Marquette’s competitive internship program offers our criminology majors experiences in Milwaukee-area law enforcement agencies, correctional settings, court offices and legal research bureaus.

Learn from the pros

Your courses will be taught by some of the nation’s leading criminology scholars and field professionals. They have distinguished themselves in their fields, and their expertise has been sought by print media and television, including national programs such as NBC’s Dateline.

Thinking about law school?

When you combine the legal foundations of the criminology major with anthropology, history, philosophy or sociology, you will be well-equipped with the intellectual tools you’ll need for law school.

Get connected

Join the Criminology and Law Society and you’ll have many opportunities to meet with speakers from the FBI, local law enforcement and the district attorney’s office and the fields of forensic science and probation and parole.

Great mixer

If you’re interested in a career helping victims of crimes, you can combine the criminology major with a major or minor in social welfare and justice. Likewise, psychology majors often take advantage of this major’s specialized courses to get their unique perspectives and to prepare for further studies in criminal psychology.
