Bachelor of Science - Criminal Justice

Boasting four unique concentrations, the criminal justice program invites you to tailor your studies to Juvenile and Family Justice, Law Enforcement Administration and Criminal Investigations, Law and Society, or Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Majors will learn how the system truly works and ways to approach issues proactively and ethically. With an emphasis on cross-cultural sensitivity, you'll be engaged by experts not only in your coursework but by getting involved in actual community issues and networking with police, federal agents and politicians.

Medaille College is a private, nonsectarian four-year college with campuses in Buffalo and Rochester and an offering of online programs. Medaille focuses on your success by offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs in hands-on, practitioner-based learning environments on campus and in the community.

We prepare you for a lifelong commitment to civic sustainability and professional success by granting you early access to career training. You do more than learn from textbooks. You learn by doing. Instead of reading how to apply psychotherapy practices, you observe real professionals in session. Rather than studying old business plans, you work with a team to develop new plans that save real businesses in Buffalo.

Your community is your classroom at Medaille College. Learning extends well beyond the four walls of a lecture hall. You go out into the field and solve real problems concerning your local community. Create an algorithm that better matches mentors with youth at Big Brothers Big Sisters. This is how Medaille trains you to be an ethical, civically responsible individual your entire life.

The relationships you build at Medaille last a lifetime as well. You begin building a professional network the day you arrive on campus. Your instructors treat you less like a student and more like a future colleague. Our alumni are always returning to campus for special speaker series, panel discussions or just to say, “Hi.” Once you become a member of the Medaille family, you have a support system that extends beyond our Buffalo campus as Medaille grads make differences all over the world.
