Bachelor in Criminal Justice

The mission of the History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science Department is to guide students toward growth in their base of knowledge in political science, history, criminal justice, and the social sciences in general, that they may have the opportunity to walk wisely, guided by the foundational purpose of this University – a Christian perspective toward faith and learning.

The purpose of the Department’s majors is to ensure that students have access to the widest range of choices in career paths and academic concentrations without diluting the strength of the knowledge being imparted. The choice of majors also suggests the depth of course concentrations so that students can upon graduation choose to move forward to graduate education, professional schooling, or the job market.

Campbell University’s oldest school, the College of Arts & Sciences, continues to provide undergraduate students with one of the most outstanding liberal arts education programs in the nation.

The primary function of the College of Arts & Sciences at Campbell University is twofold. First, the College provides the general education component (the “general college curriculum”) of a liberal arts education to all undergraduate programs of the university. Second, the College provides a large array of undergraduate programs in the traditional arts and sciences disciplines. The major objective of the College of Arts & Sciences is to accomplish these functions in an excellent manner consistent with the Christian mission and purpose of Campbell University.

The College’s location on a pedestrian campus that includes schools of Business, Education, Engineering, Divinity, Law, Osteopathic Medicine, and Pharmacy & Health Sciences offers students the opportunity to meet with and learn from undergraduate and graduate students and faculty representing a myriad of disciplines and professions.

The College of Arts & Sciences’ influence and reach extend far beyond the University’s main campus. Educational opportunities for non-traditional students are available online and at prime locations in North Carolina, including Raleigh, Fort Bragg, and Camp Lejeune. For more than 35 years, the University has also enjoyed a partnership with Tunku Abdul Rahman College in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Through this unique relationship, the College of Arts & Sciences provides courses of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree.
