Located in the largest city in Wisconsin, the school provides an unmatched environment for students to study criminal justice. Students can specialize in crime analysis, learn through fieldwork and earn credits while studying abroad.

UWM Criminal Justice majors study three broad areas of this diverse profession: law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Students study the nature and causes of crime, the impact of crime on individuals and society, and the workings of the criminal justice system. The program prepares students as generalists in criminal justice and is well suited for those who want to pursue graduate work in criminal justice, law, public administration, and the social sciences.
