"The Criminal Justice degree program was very demanding and required discipline and focus. The professors were very knowledgeable and their expertise and personal experiences offered a real-life perspective in addition to the material presented in the textbooks. They were attentive, supportive, responsive and often engaged with students one-on-one. They also encouraged and stimulated group discussions which enhanced learning as it exposed students to different ideas and perspectives. I would tell any prospective student looking into the program that if they are ready to commit to a life fulfilling learning experience with some of the most knowledgeable professors in their field then Reinhardt University is the place for them."
