Bachelor in Criminal Justice

The criminal justice program explores criminal behavior and the responses of law enforcement, the court system, and corrections. It also explores the impact of crime on victims, offenders, and the general public. As a criminal justice major, your studies will take you beyond the classroom and into the field, providing opportunities to work with members of the professional community and gain practical skills in real-world settings. You’ll also develop advanced communication, research, and analytical skills you can apply to a wide range of careers.

A degree in criminal justice opens the door to diverse professional opportunities, in areas including law enforcement, corrections, juvenile justice, cybercrime, and more. Many of these jobs are in high demand and offer competitive salaries and benefits. Because there will always be a need for criminal justice professionals, it’s also a field that offers a high level of job security.
