Picture yourself on the front lines of protecting the public – enforcing laws, pursuing justice, or even working behind the scenes in an investigative lab. Careers in the exciting fields of law enforcement, corrections, probation and parole, court services, asset protection, corporate and private security, and juvenile justice are more popular than ever. You’ll study the various environments in which the criminal justice system operates, giving you flexibility to apply your degree to a variety of careers. Our criminal justice program will teach you knowledge of the law, psychology of criminals, and what makes a good public policy.

Our new crime scene and forensics lab (to be completed in 2018) will provide a variety of academic experiences, from managing hostage situations and active shooter scenarios, to crime scene investigation and emergency management exercises. Our crime scene investigation experiences will include bloodstain spatter analysis, fingerprint acquisition, firearm trajectories, shoeprint casings, and processing crime scenes with DNA evidence.
