 What are the perks?

  • These courses are requirements for the psychology and criminal justice majors. Since you need them anyway, why not make your time in these courses as supportive and engaging as possible?
  • What a great way to go through two classes with the same group of classmates. Build community and make new friends!
  • This also guarantees you a spot in each of these classes (and as you may know, these classes fill up quickly and can be tough to get into at times). 
  • You will have access to 3rd and 4th year mentors! These mentors have already completed both courses and will be available to support you.
  • You will get better access to faculty advising as you move into your other Criminal Justice and Psychology major courses.
  • Best of all, Criminal Justice majors will enjoy FREE textbook rentals for both POLS 331 and POLS 257. 

Cost?

  • Zip, nada, zero. Even better, you will receive a more focused and supported education!
