 Return to: Academic Divisions and Departments
Because this program is interdivisional, students who major in Community Justice Studies may complete any minor to satisfy the college requirement that the major and minor be in different divisions. (Note, however, that Community and Justice Studies majors may not also minor in Values, Ethics, and Social Action).
The Community and Justice Studies major requires a minimum of 44 semester credit hours. No courses for the major may be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis except for internships that are required to be taken CR/NC. Courses with prerequisites are marked with an asterisk (*).

Possible examples include Community Change and Activism, Public Policy, or Neoliberalism.
Civic Participation requirement:
Students are expected to commit to a sustained community engagement position for one year (e.g. Bonner, Davies, Allegheny Volunteer Service Leader, or other varieties of civically engaged internships or experiences). Students should complete this requirement during their Sophomore or Junior year because they will be asked to engage in reflection on this position within COMJ 460 - Community Organizing and Civic Professionalism .
