Announcements

The School of Government and Public

Policy

is proud to announce the creation

of a new major:

Bachelor of Science in

Criminal Justice Studies

The Criminal Justice Studies major in-

troduces students to the fundamental

foundations of criminal justice spanning from crime initiation to

systems of punishment. Students will have the opportunity to take

an in-depth look at mental health law, juvenile justice systems,

police, court and corrections management and operations as well

as a host of other options. In addition, students will be exposed to

traditional public administration courses that impart core skill sets

such as leadership, ethics, public and nonprofit management, and

formation of public policy. Upon receipt of their degree students

will be prepared to think critically in an increasingly complex and

politicized society.

How do I declare this major?

Fall 2013 Freshmen and transfer students will automatically be admitted

to the major if they selected it on their application for UA admission.

Current students may declare the major starting May 1, 2013. For more

information please visit the SGPP website.

With growing threats from terrorist groups, transnational networks, and rogue states, the United States and

allied countries must contend with a complicated set of direct national security challenges—from weapons-of

-mass-destruction, nuclear proliferation, and terrorism, to natural resource constraints. These threats have

emerged in, and are affected by, an environment of growing globalization, technological innovation, and

shifting geopolitical and economic power.

Such challenges have strained existing political, and operational norms in the United States and raised con-

cerns about the emerging challenges and how to deal them. Through the guidance of a faculty director expert

in national security issues, this program will examine how these changes impact the international arena as

well as explore how the U.S. can best respond to the myriad uncertainties present in the world today.

Abroad, the new challenges stemming from terrorism and asymmetric threats, dramatic demographic shifts,

and the rise of new centers of power have stressed existing alliances, forged new marriages of convenience,

and required reassessments of global power dynamics. In this context, the United States finds itself address-

ing national security threats across the globe as the sole superpower, with diminishing reach and leverage.

Nowhere are these challenges more urgent for U.S. and international security as the new generation –

your generation – confronts and changes the status quo and searches for more responsive regimes, not only

in the Middle East and Africa, but also in potential other hotspots such as Asia.
