Administration of Justice Minor

Program Announcement: As of Fall 2022, this minor is no longer accepting new applicants. Students interested in a similar course of study are invited to explore our new minor in Law, Criminal Justice, and Society (LCJS) .

Current Pitt students interested in a CGS minor in Administration of Justice (ADMJ), rather than a major in either ADMJ or Law, Criminal Justice, & Society (LCJS), should apply for the ADMJ minor directly with the College of General Studies. If you are a CGS student interested in adding this minor, please contact your CGS advisor.

Minor Requirements

In order to complete the minor, you will take 15 ADMJ credits (five courses), as outlined below. At least three courses must be from the University of Pittsburgh. A 2.0 average GPA is required. Courses used for a minor cannot overlap with courses used for a major, minor, or a certificate.

Important: Changes to ADMJ Courses

Beginning Spring 2022 (2224), Administration of Justice courses have been renumbered and retitled with LCJS as their subject code. These courses count the same as their former ADMJ or LEGLST equivalent for Administration of Justice majors and minors.
