Minor Cybercriminology Minor
Roderick Graham, Coordinator
The Cybercriminology minor introduces students to foundational concepts in the study of cybercrime. Students explore the major categories of cybercrime, the legal frameworks applied to digital behavior, and the ways professionals use computer technology to analyze criminal activity. The minor is designed to complement majors across the social sciences and STEM fields, particularly criminal justice and cybersecurity. Students gain a practical understanding of how crime occurs in digital environments and how professionals respond to it, culminating in a hands-on experience in which they work directly with investigative and analytical tools.
