Justice Studies Special Sessions Lecturer Pool

Department SummaryThe Department of Justice Studies was founded as a Police School in 1930. Over the years, the degrees offered have varied as academic curricula in the field of criminal justice and criminology have evolved.

SJSU was the first university in the CSU to offer a Forensic Science Degree. The BS in Forensic Science has three concentrations: Chemistry, Biology, and Digital Evidence. The Department also houses four minors-Justice Studies, Forensic Studies, Legal Studies, and Human Rights.In addition to the degrees mentioned above, our Department houses the Record Clearance Project. At the graduate level, the Department offers an MS degree in Justice Studies and an online MS degree in Criminology with a Concentration in Global Criminology.
