Licenciatura en Justicia Penal

The Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice is a four-year interdisciplinary program in the study of crime and the justice system's administration. The “criminal justice system” study consists of law enforcement, courts, and corrections as a system for administering the city, county, state, and federal laws and procedures. The University strives to endow students with the skills necessary for critical knowledge, communication, personal growth, and real-world application opportunities within the Criminal Justice discipline. The curriculum includes a historical overview of the stages of development through which the criminal justice system has evolved and the system's current state. A broad range of analyses will be offered to meet both professional students' academic needs who plan future careers in the criminal justice field and those already employed in the criminal justice system.
