A minor in Fraud and Financial Crime Investigation at the Mount is designed to provide students an introduction to the study of the growing number of non-violent crimes that are committed for financial gain through fraud and deception.

 

 

Criminology strives to understand the nature of crime and society, and the theoretical underpinnings that guide how people are punished, controlled or rehabilitated. The curriculum allows you to learn about the Criminological perspective, and gives you an understanding of the theoretical perspectives of the field. 

Through the Fraud and Financial Crime Investigation minor, students explore how financial crimes are committed, detected, and investigated, while gaining insight into the legal, ethical, and economic impacts these offenses have on individuals, organizations, and communities. Coursework provides foundational knowledge in areas such as fraud prevention, investigative techniques, and financial crime analysis, preparing students to recognize patterns of deception and understand the systems used to combat financial misconduct in both the public and private sectors.
