Bachelor of Science with a Major in Criminal Justice

The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice is delivered fully online through a partnership with USG eMajor in collaboration with other University System of Georgia schools. Housed in the Department of Civic Engagement and Public Service in UWG's University College, the program provides a true interdisciplinary opportunity. The degree allows for a large amount of student personalization through ample elective credits, as well as the possibility of credit for prior learning gained through various sources such as professional experiences, the military, training, community work, and personal study. eMajor online programs are ideal not only for traditional students who wish to take advantage of online course delivery, but also for working professionals, military members, transfer students and others seeking alternative routes to degree completion.

1. Before you can register for an eMajor class at UWG, you must be an admitted student. If you are not a current student at UWG, your first step is to apply for admission.

   A minimum GPA or amount of credit hours is NOT required in order to declare the major.
