Criminal Justice and Sociology Professor Stone (chair); Lecturers Fremgen, Kaiser, Redmann, and Rummel Mission Statement The mission of the Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology at Jamestown College is twofold. Sociology courses support the curricula in general education, teacher education, and nursing. Their aim is to sensitize the student to the role of social forces (e.g. homogeneity, stratification, urbanization) and social institutions (e.g. the family, education, religion, politics, and the economy) as they impact our individual and collective lives. In criminal justice, students are prepared to pursue one of three distinct, though not necessarily mutually exclusive, options. The focus of the major is a solid preparation for entry-level careers in law enforcement, corrections, or adult or juvenile probation and parole. In addition, critical thinking, discipline-specific writing are explicit student outcome goals to which the department is committed and around which the core requirements are interconnected. Finally, the department is fully committed to its program of outcomes assessment to measure the degree to which its mission is being accomplished and provide guidelines for program enhancement.
A grade of C- or above must be earned in all courses that are required in a major or a minor.
