The Criminal Justice system is an institution that is at the crux of societal concern. People not only want to have a better understanding of these problems; many also want to become a part of the solution. The program of study infuses knowledge about criminal justice systems and process, communication skills, multicultural issues, crime context research, moral and ethical considerations, management concerns, and technological applications into the coursework. The program is geared toward two student groups: traditional and non-traditional age students who are interested in pursuing a degree and a career in the field, and criminal justice professionals who are seeking credentialing through a bachelor’s degree. Following a core of required courses that includes cultural diversity, ethics, and foreign language, the student selects one of three major concentrations tied to his or her intellectual interests and career status and goals:
- Criminal Justice Administration
- Forensic Behavioral Sciences
- Technology and Crime
