Double
Major in Criminal Justice & Sociology
Degree Navigator does not handle the double major in sociology and criminal justice well, so it is especially imperative that all double majors work closely with their departmental advisors. By far the best way to plan your schedules for the double major is to print and out and keep a record on the applicable double major worksheet below. You should always bring this worksheet to advising sessions.
Click here to access the current Double Major Worksheet (2008+, 64 credits)
Click here to access the old Double Major Weeksheet (pre-2008) for students enrolled in the major before 2008 and choosing to come up under the old rules (66 credits)
