This degree surveys crime, offenders, the justice system, how offenders are treated and the theories that explain why crime occurs. Students are asked to consult a criminal justice advisor so the program can be tailored to their goals.
Some graduates keep studying, some pursue jobs with justice agencies, and others are working officers refreshing their education. Jobs may be found with city, county, state and national policing, corrections, probation and parole, and juvenile detention.
Core classes include corrections, juvenile justice, criminal law, criminology, constitutional law, evidence and policing, each needing at least a 2.0.
