Our faculty will immerse you in critical thinking and empirical analysis of research. Get ready to delve into the biological, psychological, and sociological theories that explain why crime happens in society. Also be prepared to study, in-depth, the types of crime—including violent, property, corporate, political, and so-called victimless crime—as well as methods for studying crime and the characteristics of criminals. 

Find engrossing challenges and work with a faculty mentor on individualized research. Put your investigative skills to the test at our annual CSI Symposium. Study abroad in Norwich’s program in numerous locations including CityLab Berlin.
