Undergraduate Minor in Criminal Justice

The official requirements for a minor in criminal justice are available in the UCF Undergraduate Catalog online.

The minor is open to all UCF students. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all course work used to satisfy the minor and grades less than "C-" (1.75) are not accepted. Internship or independent study credit cannot be used toward the minor.

No credit by exam (TSD, Military credit) may be used.

To earn a minor in criminal justice, students take classes in such subjects as:

  • Criminal Justice System
  • Crime in America
  • Prosecution and Adjudication
  • The Corrections and Penology
  • Police and Society

Application Process

There is no application process per se, rather students declare a minor. To declare a minor, a student must complete a Minor Declaration form, which can be picked up in the Department of Criminal Justice and Legal Studies. This form must be signed by the student's advisor and the chair of the department. Students are strongly urged to officially declare a minor as early as possible but no later than the submission of their UCF Intent to Graduate Form (must be completed the semester before the student intends to graduate).
