BS in Criminal Justice

The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice program is designed to complement the existing skills of an individual to include general knowledge, human relations, and development skills, communication skills, principles of justice, and the application of organizational and leadership principles required to successfully work in today’s organizations providing public safety and law enforcement services. This program integrates courses in human relations, criminal justice, organization, communication, and leadership to provide the student with the background necessary to be upwardly-mobile within the organizational structures of public safety agencies, community non-profit organizations, and church organizations. This includes skills required to work with police officers and police chaplains working in the community and juvenile or adult detention centres and private organizations providing related public safety and law enforcement services. This program also serves as a foundation for graduate-level degrees in Leadership and Management, Ministerial Leadership, Professional Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy degrees offered by Amridge University.
