UW Tacoma began offering an innovative Criminal Justice minor in 2009, housed within the Social Work Program. In Autumn 2010, we began offering a B.A. degree in Criminal Justice, and we will launch an online Criminal Justice major in 2014. Currently, we serve over 165 majors in our exciting program, which has tremendous community and faculty support and prospects for continued growth. The innovative curriculum encourages community partnerships, diversity, systems thinking, and skill development.
One of three campuses of the University of Washington, UW Tacoma is a metropolitan university that offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees for the diverse population of the South Puget Sound region.

We aim to enhance the quality of life for all, with special attention to human diversities, populations at risk, public social services, and the prevention of social problems. As a community of diverse scholars, we advance the profession through our preparation of graduates for ethical, culturally competent evidence-based practice and through scholarship that advances the knowledge base of the profession. We value collaborative relationships, a commitment to fostering the success of the students and faculty in the program, a commitment to community involvement and partnerships, and excellent classroom and online teaching.
