Forensic Scheduling Jobs in San Ramon, CA (NOW HIRING)

Department Summary
The Department of Justice Studies was founded as a Police School in 1930. Over the years, the degrees offered have varied as academic curricula in the field of criminal justice and criminology have evolved. In recent years, our Department has successfully transitioned toward an emphasis on justice broadly conceived, favoring an interdisciplinary inquiry into principles and issues of social justice and human rights that are essential for the common good.

Looking forward from 2021, our Department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Justice Studies, Justice Studies with a Concentration in Criminology, and in Forensic Science with Concentrations. SJSU was the first university in the CSU to offer a Forensic Science Degree. The BS in Forensic Science has three concentrations: Chemistry, Biology, and Digital Evidence. The Department also houses four minors-Justice Studies, Forensic Studies, Legal Studies, and Human Rights.

In addition to the degrees mentioned above, our Department houses the Record Clearance Project. At the graduate level, the Department offers an MS degree in Justice Studies and an online MS degree in Criminology with a Concentration in Global Criminology. The department is located at 524 MacQuarrie Hall, and can be viewed online at http://www.sjsu.edu/justicestudies/.
