Forensic psychology is the study and application of psychological principles to criminal investigation and the law. You will examine the many ways psychology plays a part in the American justice system for criminals, judges, juries, victims, and witnesses, and study family and workplace law, assessment, profiling, and the effectiveness of punishment and social advocacy.
To earn the Forensic Psychology minor, you must complete a 24-credit course of study,
which will prepare you to pursue graduate study in clinical or forensic psychology,
because a career as a practicing psychologist requires a master's or doctoral degree,
and licensure or certification.
