Justice Studies Graduates

Welcome to the Department of Justice Studies

The Justice Studies Department has had many iterations during its time at SJSU. Starting as a Police School we then became a major called Criminal Justice, and finally have transitioned to what we know as Justice Studies. One thing has stayed true regardless of the name, we are here to help students succeed in the fields of criminal justice, social justice, and more.
