Interdisciplinary Scholarship
With roots in anthropology, history, law, political science, psychology, and sociology, criminal justice is an inherently multi-disciplinary field of study. This multi-disciplinary focus is apparent in our faculty. In recent years this is even more apparent as we move toward an inter- and cross-disciplinary focus in our educational, research, and outreach activity. We build on connections to every college within MSU. This is evident through the specializations offered to undergraduate and graduate students and through the outside cognate area of the Ph.D. program. It is also witnessed in the School’s involvement in MSU’s Risk Research Initiative. Through these connections, MSU students have access to cutting-edge courses in cyber- and information security; environmental compliance and enforcement; forensics; geospatial analysis; global and area studies; judicial administration; public health; and supply chain security. This inter-disciplinary focus runs through the curriculum, is part of specializations and degree programs, and is available for individualized programs of study at undergraduate and graduate levels.
