Double Major: Sociology and Criminal
Justice:
Note: A new worksheet for students double-majoring under the 2008 criminal justice requirements will be forthcoming shortly. The option described below applies only to students who enrolled at Rutgers-Camden before Fall 2008 and who are coming up under the previous set of requirements for their CJ major.
The double major for students graduating under the pre-2008 requirements is described below. However, the easiest way to
understand where you stand is to access the new Double
Major Worksheet that Dr. Meyer has prepared. Double majors should print
out this worksheet and keep it current for advising purposes.
Double majors will take a total of 66 credits as follows:

15 additional credits in sociology or anthropology
courses, which count toward the Sociology major [this assumes that the
3 credits taken for the multicultural course for CJ were in either sociology
or anthropology (if they were taken in political science, you will need
an additional sociology elective). Also, Sociology requires at least one
anthropology course taken among its electives, but those who took an anthropology
course to satisfy the multicultural course for CJ can count that course
toward the minimum).
