BA/BS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

Criminal Justice at Lincoln University is offered as a Bachelor of Science, a Bachelor of Arts, or a minor. It examines the institutions and processes behind public safety, justice, and the rule of law, and it develops analytical and ethical leadership skills. Students work with faculty mentors and gain practical experience through internships, including placements with campus police and local partners. The program includes three areas of emphasis. Law Enforcement prepares students for policing, homeland security, and federal agencies. Crime Scene Investigation builds skills for processing scenes and forensic work. Legal Studies lays groundwork for legal study or work in research and court operations. Each area has course requirements and a sample sequence available on the program page. Students who want a clear view of what the degree involves can look at the course lists in the university catalog and speak with faculty about advising, course planning, and how the major fits their long-term goals. The campus is in Pennsylvania and is a historically Black institution.
