Criminal
Justice Program
The
Criminal Justice major provides students with a practical
but academically challenging education that will permit them
to acquire critical thinking, analytical, and technical skills
necessary to achieve success in the workplace. The program
enables students to pursue diverse career paths, including
higher education, institutional and community corrections,
investigation, law enforcement, loss prevention in business,
and work with non-profit or for-profit organizations that
serve specialized populations, such as re-entering offenders
or at-risk children. As a criminal justice major, you will
learn about the nature and extent of crime in society and
explore theories of why crime occurs. You will also acquire
basic knowledge of the operation of the Criminal Justice system,
including its historical background, theoretical underpinnings,
legal aspects and implications, contemporary social factors,
ethical issues, and principles and processes of the various
parts of the system. The curriculum provides you with an opportunity
for personal growth and development of leadership skills that
will enhance your life opportunities and your work as you
embark on a career in criminal justice or in a related area
of service to the community.
