Credits:(3) The capstone course of the sociology and criminal justice majors aims at providing a context for understanding the broad foci of the disciplines of sociology and criminal justice. Students review some key sociological and criminological writings with a more mature perspective and use these to develop a paper that synthesizes their knowledge of sociological/criminological theory, research and applications. Students also develop their abilities to analyze their personal experiences and explore options for continued study or employment related to their undergraduate training. (Spring)
