A Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice prepares students for successful careers in law enforcement, parole and probation, corrections, and youth services. Students learn about the inner workings of the justice system, and develop critical thinking skills, exceptional communication skills, problem solving skills, and an ability to grow and learn after college.
The Criminal Justice program equips students to think critically about the causes and consequences of crime and deviance, evolving issues in the field of criminal justice, the potential of empirical research to help guide policy development, and the role social organization plays in the development of knowledge.
