Licence en Administration de la Justice Pénale

The criminal justice administration program combines the Park University tradition of liberal arts education with a modern professional curriculum preparing graduates to work in the criminal justice system and related professions or moves on to graduate school. This program offers a variety of degrees, from the Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice to the Associate, minor and certificate levels.

The main campus of Park University is located a short drive from downtown Kansas City, and programs are offered at 40 campus centers throughout the country. In addition to these on-campus class options, Park also offers online criminal justice classes.

The criminal justice administration program is part of Park University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. These majors are designed to prepare graduates who are articulate, literate, reflective, and committed to a lifetime of learning and civic action.

Many of our faculty have significant levels of professional work experience in the criminal justice field. We study all segments of the criminal justice system, from law enforcement, through courts, to corrections. We have areas of concentration in law enforcement, corrections, and security, lead by experienced professionals. We offer experiential opportunities in all areas through internships and special topics courses. We focus on critical thinking, effective communication (both oral and written), enabling lifelong learning, and working in a global society through possible international study.

Several alumni have completed graduate programs in criminal justice and public administration, as well as law school.

Park, a four-year, private, nonprofit, liberal arts institution has helped students break barriers to education since 1875. Our motto, fides et labour (Latin for “faith and work”) is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. A Park University education is an opportunity to find faith in yourself — by discovering your potential and working to realize it.

Park University’s core values are academic excellence, inclusivity and social responsibility. Diversity is in our DNA — Park’s first graduating class included four women. Today, we welcome more than 260 international students from 60 countries.
