and development of individuals and communities politically, economically, and socially.

What we Are• Liberal Arts program

![Page 4: Dr. Glenn Hastedt, Chair Daisy Breneman, Academic Advisor](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649dbd5503460f94ab02af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What We Are Not
• A Criminal Justice Major• Criminal Justice Minor at JMU, pre-professional focus• CRJU programs : applied problems to be solved• JUST views justice issues as a general class of social and
political problems to be understood; looks at puzzles that have multiple answers depending on perspective
• Pre Law School Major• JMU offers Pre-law as a pre-professional program; students select
major from a wide range of fields
