Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies (B.S.), with emphasis in Criminal Justice Administration

toward the completion of an MTSU Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies. This degree is offered through MTSU's University College in cooperation with the
Tennessee Board of Regents, on the Southeast campus of Nashville State Community College.
The B.S. in Liberal Studies allows students to design a major around two areas of
interest. Students can use their NSCC Police Science courses as one Area of Emphasis,
and take MTSU's Criminal Justice courses (which will be offered at NSCC-SE) as their second Area of Emphasis. They
can also use MTSU's Criminal Justice courses as electives. Or, students can work with
their MTSU advisor for a wide selection of course options.
