Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Criminal Justice] From Bob Jones University

Within the criminal justice program at BJU, you?ll take a broad look at criminal justice to start, and then look more in depth at specifics as they relate to the United States federal and state levels. You?ll build a solid foundation in three main parts of the United States criminal justice system: law enforcement, corrections and the judiciary.

You?ll start the program studying the constitution and learning how its provisions have developed through many years of court interpretation. You?ll learn specific rights of the people in different contexts, from arrest to trial to post-trial outcomes.

In addition, you?ll explore the world of crime?what it is, what causes it, how to control and prevent it, how to correct it, and more. You?ll learn about the due process of law and the ever-changing landscape of law within the United States.

As you learn about foundational concepts like community relations, professionalism and law interpretation, you?ll build a good understanding of subjects such as homeland security, parole and dignitary protection, among many others. In addition, you?ll cover current news stories throughout the program so you can learn how to critically and biblically analyze contemporary issues in your field.
