Abstrak	A truism concerning college attendance is that the knowledge and experiences gained from it have the ability to change ones attitudes and beliefs. In regard to criminology and criminal justice (C&CJ) education, this has led researchers to assume that what separates the students majoring in this field from other majors is course work alone. Due to students self-selecting their major, however, any similarities found among C&CJ majors may simply be an artifact of them commencing college as a more homogenous group. The question then is whether or not C&CJ majors begin their college careers as a more likeminded group compared to their non-C&CJ counterparts. This paper addresses this question by surveying college freshmen from all academic fields. Specifically, it examines how C&CJ majors and non-majors differ at the start of their college careers in the areas of personality characteristics, parental demographics, TV show preferences, and reasons for selecting a major.
