Course Summary

Drawing on aspects of criminology, law, psychology, and forensics, students seek to understand what makes a criminal and what society’s response to criminal behavior reveals about the community itself. They spend time with NYPD officers, lawyers, visit courthouses, and learn how the authorities are adapting to challenges such as cybercrime and terrorism to examine all aspects of the criminal justice system.

Oxbridge in New York takes place at Barnard College, an independent liberal arts college established in 1889 and affiliated with Columbia University since 1900.
