- Please refer to the Course Catalog (https://catalog.seattleu.edu/) for a full list of approved courses that fulfill CRJS specialization electives
- Students planning to pursue a career in forensic psychology are strongly
encouraged to double major or at least minor in Psychology. No more than 20 credits of PSYC courses from this specialization will be counted towards the minor. Students double-majoring in this specialization and in PSYC have the choice to either take PSYC 3030 & 3050 OR CRJS 3010 & 3020 for their research sequence and so don’t have to take all 4 classes. - If CRJS 4870 is taken for 3 credits, student may need a 2-credit general elective to reach the 180 credits required to graduate.
