Why Should I Choose Corrections?

If you have a sense of duty to protect your community, the Corrections concentration will teach you about the prison system and how to establish order and compliance.


What Will I Learn Through Corrections?

You’ll study the social and technical aspects of prisons and their greater role in the criminal justice system, including their social implications on the inmates, their families, those who work at the facility, and the communities they affect.
