司法行政文学学士

我们的司法行政本科专业（AOJ）始于1978年秋季。这是霍华德大学社会学和犯罪学系全面计划的一部分，该计划旨在研究影响非裔美国人社区的各种机构。AOJ专业课程基本上围绕文科教育的概念而组织，同时提供针对特定职业的教育培训。因此，除了主要课程中规定的内容外，学生还必须满足艺术与科学学院制定的所有一般教育要求。该计划的基本假设是，司法领域的成功职业需要人文科学，社会科学和行为科学方面的广泛基础教育准备。这种包括课堂教学在内的准备工作，可以使学生更好地理解人类行为的复杂性，并且可以理解与人类社会生活有关的一些问
Our undergraduate major in Administration of Justice (AOJ) began in fall 1978. It was part of a comprehensive program effort of the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Howard University to examine various institutions that impacted upon the African American community. The AOJ major is organized essentially around the concept of liberal arts education, while at the same time providing career-specific educational training. Students must, therefore, satisfy all general education requirements established by the College of Arts and Sciences, in addition to those specified in the major program. Underlying the program is the assumption that successful careers in the justice field require broad basic educational preparation in the humanities, and social and behavioral sciences. Such preparation involving classroom instruction affords students a better understanding of the complexities of human conduct, as well as an appreciation of some of the problems associated with human social life. Theoretically-based instruction is combined with practical experience to give students more comprehensive knowledge of the criminal justice system and its linkages to the larger institutional structure.
