<p>I was looking on their website for criminal justice major and nothing came up so I googled "Umass Amherst Criminal Justice" and this came up on their website: "This program, offered through the Department of Sociology, is intended for undergraduates interested in working in the criminal justice system. Offering guidance through available offerings in criminology, deviance, and delinquency, it can be used to meet the partial concentration requirements of the Sociology major and the full requirements of the Sociology minor.</p>

<p>Entry into the program begins with a formal request to the director or assistant director of the program. Academic standing and year of graduation are considered, with special preference given to juniors and seniors with strong records. On graduation and completion of the program, students receive a formal certificate and a letter describing the program.</p>

<p>In order to facilitate course selection and timely completion of the program, all students admitted into the program as of October 2003 should anticipate taking three or more of the required 18 credits via the Continuing Education Summer or Winter term listings."</p>

<p>Does this mean they offer it? Also what are some other schools like UMass?</p>

<p>They offer a program in criminal justice but you graduate with a degree in Sociology (I guess with a concentration in criminal justice?). You’re better off emailing the school and talking to someone about it because they would know better than me. I’d probably recommend going somewhere else that has criminal justice as a major, unless you really wanna go to UMass, because it seems to be that you have to take a lot of courses during school breaks and over the summer to complete the degree. Try some SUNY schools, UConn, URI, UNH, and UVM. You could also try Northeastern, Boston University, Stonehill, Amherst, Williams, Trinity in CT, West Chester, Bloomsburg, UPitt, and Penn State.</p>
