Forensic Psychology Specialization
The specialization has a focus on the intersection between psychology as the study of human behavior and the legal system as society’s attempt to control human behavior. The psychology courses examine how the science and profession of psychology may be applied to the legal system. Students will examine the social justice implications for both psychology and law. The Forensic Psychology Specialization may enhance the eligibility of psychology majors for graduate study in forensic and clinical psychology, law, and/or criminal justice. At the bachelor’s level, the specialization may enhance eligibility for positions related to probation, incarceration programs, juvenile detention, social and legal agencies, and agencies working with victims and offenders.
