The Justice Studies program is an interdisciplinary concentration, which means it can be taken by students in any major.  Required courses in the concentration can double-count with Foundational Studies, Major Studies, or minors.  Students have an academic advisor for their major degree program.  Additionally, they will work with an advisor from Liberal Studies for guidance through the Justice required curriculum. 

The Justice concentration provides introductory exploration of Justice Studies, attending to theoretical models of justice along with applied studies focusing on judicial and criminal systems.  The centration is valuable to students who have interests in the criminal system, law enforcement, law school, forensics, governance, and/or public policy.

The concentration begins with two required courses which are offered from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.*  Two other courses are required from a menu of options that include APU offerings and UAF offerings.  As well, offerings can be taken from other Ecoleague schools.   One of the two menu courses must be at the upper-division level, and one must be taken from APU.
