    specialization.
  • 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 doublemajoring 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.
