Answer:

No, the University of California - Santa Barbara does not offer an undergraduate major in criminal justice. Related majors that the institution does offer include history, philosophy, political science, psychological and brain sciences, and sociology. Each of these majors is offered through UCSB's College of Letters and Science. Often, students choose a major of criminal justice to lead to a career in either law enforcement or the study and practice of law. However, a bachelor's degree in criminal justice is not required to pursue either of these career paths. The related majors that UCSB offers can also lead to these types of careers in the criminal justice system. Students interested in going into law enforcement upon graduation could consider psychological and brain sciences or sociology as a major at UCSB. Students hoping to enter a professional law program after completing their undergraduate work might instead consider a major in philosophy, political science, or history.
