Is criminal Justice usually considered a social science if I wanted to use it for my BA liberal studies? Or would making criminal justice a depth make me have a BS?
Thank you

Cj is considered a social science at EC but some of the CJ courses are considered applied professional credits for some reason (like the profiling course, which was a bummer for me because I was hoping to use it towards my psych stuff, but they wouldn't approve it because I maxed out my ap credits.)
Other schools would likely view it as social sciences as well, but it doesn't hurt to ask them directly.

You didn't say if you were looking at EC or TESC, but judging by your lingo I'm guessing you mean EC. In that case, at TESC CJ is a social science if it has a SOS/SOC prefix. In liberal arts, AOJ would not be social science, it would be free elective. It sounds like EC and TESC handle it about the same way.

My criminal Justice courses have a title CRJ(Criminal Justice)....would that make them a free elective or part of social sciences at Thomas Edison?
The courses are a CRJ intro to crinimal justice
CRJ Criminal Law
CRJ Constitutional Law
