BA in Criminal Justice

Cairn’s Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice prepares students to enter various fields connected to law and law enforcement at the local, state, and federal levels. Centered on biblical principles, we develop students into well-educated contributors to society, serving Christ within this complex discipline.

The BA in Criminal Justice maintains a perspective focused on prevention and restoration and built upon three content areas: the law, the criminal justice system, and the persons and organizations linking them. This is a dynamic field that can be customized to the student’s interests through electives and chosen minor. Upon graduation, students are prepared to enter the world of law enforcement, as well as to pursue further academic study at the graduate level.

The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty introduce students to the traditional subjects within the humanities, arts, natural sciences, mathematics, and social and behavioral sciences.

The School teaches these subjects in a way that expands intellectual and cultural horizons, stretching each student’s ability to think critically about all areas of life and learning. Additionally, the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences directs the liberal arts core of every student’s academic experience.
