Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences

Society and Individual Relationships

Through Wilkes' Social Sciences programs, you can:

• Develop an appreciation for the sociological imagination.
• Use sophisticated methods to explain and predict how public policies are fashioned and the effects of those policies.
• Examine the psychological, social, economic, and political causes of crime and the impact crime, law, and justice have on society.
• Understand the world, how it works, and what role you have in shaping the global community.

Studying criminology at Wilkes has provided me the tools to develop profound critical-thinking and writing skills while opening my eyes to new passions for the law and the criminal justice system.
