Beschreibung des Programms

NSU's criminal justice degree prepares you to make a positive impact on community safety through the study of criminology, sociology, and data analysis.

A criminal justice degree provides wide-ranging foundational knowledge of the U.S. criminal justice system. In this program, you'll learn about criminal law and procedure, policing, the judicial system, the correctional system, and criminological theory.

Our program offers answers to criminal justice questions, including:

  • What does it mean for an offender to get off on a technicality?
  • What's the difference between murder and manslaughter?
  • Why do people commit crimes?
  • How are victims served and supported in the criminal justice process?

Northern's AA degree in criminal justice is available entirely online.

Criminal justice majors also are eligible for priority admission to Northern's counseling master’s program!
