Why study Sociology: Criminology and Criminal Justice online through OSU?

The Department of Sociology’s undergraduate program provides students with up-to-date knowledge and research in criminology and criminal justice, coupled with training in research methods and analysis. Students will have the opportunity to learn from the same world-class faculty who engage in cutting-edge research on topics such as state-level marijuana and firearms laws, the death penalty in national and international contexts, how reputation affects punishment decisions, and sexual harassment. Graduates pursue successful careers in various fields related to crime, criminal behavior, law enforcement, the courts, and corrections.

Format

We offer comprehensive online degrees to fit your busy schedule. Using the latest technologies, we put sociology courses within reach for students who are not able to attend classes on campus or commit to full-time, face to face enrollment due to the time constraints of working full-time and raising a family.

 

OSU uses Canvas for our learning management system and hosts your online courses and content. From lectures to discussions to submitting assignments, all course interaction is completed entirely online. All you need is the necessary discipline and access to computer capabilities!
