Faculty encourage students to practice justice through various experiential approaches, including volunteer work, service learning, and internships. Students actively engage in their education via discussion, cooperative learning, field trips, and case-based classroom formats. The B.S. degree in Justice Studies is an upper-division program. Upon admission to the university, Justice Studies students are classified as premajors. Justice Studies students must earn major status before taking 400-level JUS resident credit courses required for graduation.
All students are encouraged to seek advising in order to formulate an appropriate educational plan.
Justice Studies majors may also be advised by the school's faculty. Upon admission to the university, every Justice Studies undergraduate receives the Undergraduate Advisement Guide and an evaluation of transfer work, if any. The minor is designed for students interested in developing an understanding of meanings of justice and injustice and analyzing often controversial issues through critical inquiry and social science investigation. A minimum of nine hours must be resident credit at ASU Main Campus, six hours of which must be upper division credit. Please consult the minor verification form available in the school office.
