Criminal Justice
|
 |
The Criminal Justice Program provides an understanding of how the criminal justice system functions, theory versus practice, and to introduce students to the basic knowledge that scholarship has produced concerning crime and the administration of justice. Our purpose is to prepare students with analytical, critical thinking, writing skills and technology skills in order to function in graduate and professional schools, and professional careers. Graduates usually assume professional careers within the criminal justice system or matriculate to the study of law or other graduate degrees. |
