BA/BS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

This criminal justice degree covers law enforcement, crime detection and investigation, prosecution and sentencing. Unlike programs rooted in psychology or sociology, it draws on social sciences, behavioral sciences and the humanities. Professors bring field experience, and the downtown Pittsburgh location lets students meet judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and police officers while pursuing internships and observations. Law enforcement professionals accepted into the on-campus program receive a tuition discount. The degree is available on campus and fully online. The online version uses accelerated courses, and prospective students can arrange a conversation with an online admissions counselor. Prospective students can look over the published degree requirements and course descriptions, then contact the admissions office through the university website to ask how this major fits their goals and circumstances.
