Program Coordinator
James W. Kanan, [email protected], (270) 745-2404 This online program exposes students to the empirical study and evaluation of crime patterns in society using a social scientific perspective. The program’s primary emphasis is the development of strong methodological and quantitative skills necessary to gather and analyze criminological data. In addition to a research and analysis emphasis, course work is directed toward the investigation of the etiology of offending and victimization in violent and property crimes, using a variety of theoretical frameworks structuring the research process. Courses examine the major correlates of crime, delinquency,
and deviance, including an analysis of the effects of gender, age, race/ ethnicity, and social class in explaining variation in offending and victimization rates at various levels of analysis (e.g. individuals, within neighborhoods, among counties, and across countries).
Students are exposed to historical and contemporary macro and micro level theories of offending and victimization, and they are challenged to think about how prior and current research in the field of Criminology can be used to inform social and public policies. Several courses provide students with the opportunity to examine the institutions that have evolved to respond to crime and delinquency in our society. These courses provide insights and perspectives into punishment and correction systems, penology, criminal law, rehabilitation and recidivism. At the end of the program, students must complete a criminological research project in the format of a peer-reviewed journal article and pass an oral examination. Additional information can be found at www.wku.edu/sociology/ma_criminology/index.php.

The Master of Arts in Social Responsibility & Sustainable Communities is an interdisciplinary program of study that provides students with the tools to lead communities toward social justice and sustainability. It is designed especially for students inclined toward the humanities, social sciences, and related fields. Students take a core set of courses that provide interdisciplinary grounding in social justice and sustainability, social policy issues, leadership issues, community-building, and community-based research. Students may focus their elective courses on environmental sustainability, gender & women’s studies, intergenerational studies, or other issues, depending on their interests, on availability of courses, and in consultation with their advisor. Students in the MA in Social Responsibility & Sustainable Communities will cultivate the skills and knowledge necessary to be economic, political, and social change agents for more just and sustainable communities.
Through this MA program, students will be able to:
• examine a range of disciplinary perspectives on social justice; • analyze the interrelationships of issues and interlocking systems
associated with social organization and community development; • examine the practical and theoretical principles of sustainability and
how to apply them to diverse situations and communities throughout the world;
• analyze the power relationships (gender, race, age, class) that historically surround social justice and how these may be changed or augmented to increase social equality and equity; and
• apply the principles of community organizing and be able to effectively utilize them in a variety of communities.
Program Admission
Admission will be based on prior academic performance, as well as: 1. a written Statement of Interest
