Welcome to the School of 犯罪学 and Security Studies! We are a school within the College of Arts and Sciences that emphasizes a liberal arts education with practical application.  With our focus on the education of students, we also engage in scholarly research and provide service to society, as well as the academic and professional communities.

ISU 犯罪学 is a vibrant, growing school offering a traditional Crim major as well as new majors in “Cybercrime and Security” and “Intelligence Analysis.”  We also offer 理学硕士 and 文学硕士 degrees. All of our degree programs are available to both campus and distance education students.

Classes are offered on a wide variety of topics and structured to foster the development of students’ critical thinking, 解决问题, 分析, and communication abilities.  We value experiential learning, providing hands-on experiences, internships and community based learning through our partnerships with the local and world-wide criminal justice agencies.  Our robust alumni base is an advantage for graduates seeking employment and the department hosts its own annual career fair.

The ISU 犯罪学 faculty includes world-renown researchers, experienced former practitioners, and committed academic advisors who provide guidance and support for students in pursuing their goals.  教师 regularly involve interested students in research projects and sponsor student professional and academic organizations.
