BA/BS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

Criminal Justice at Utica University is an on-campus bachelor of science program that pairs core skills in gathering and examining evidence with extensive practical learning in the laboratory and in the field. Instructors are long-serving practitioners from policing, corrections and related careers. Students work through guided simulations, including exercises in the Crime Scene Lab, and benefit from personalised mentorship. They learn to gather, analyze and document evidence, investigate crimes, communicate clearly and lead administratively, and they can tailor their study plan to a preferred career path. Every student finishes with a senior-year internship at a public or private organization, applying and refining the skills they have built. The degree requires 120 credit hours.
