Graduates of the criminal justice program will be able to analytically evaluate,
synthesize information, and use critical-thinking skills to develop appropriate
solutions for important criminal justice issues. The program is designed to help
you understand the coercive nature of criminal justice decision-making and the
need to use logic, ethics, and critical-thinking skills in order to use your
authority appropriately.
This degree program prepares graduates for careers as a
police officer, court clerk, court bailiff, correctional officer, probation
officer, parole officer, and other federal law enforcement such as border
patrol. Policing and institutional corrections employment will also require the
completion of a training academy. If advancing in the criminal justice field is
your goal, this program will help you achieve it.
