Criminal Justice Department Goals and Objectives
Beyond the Classroom
Students are strongly encouraged to also engage in applied learning experiences, such as internships and involvement with law-related student organizations.
After Graduation
Criminal justice majors are prepared for positions as law-enforcement and corrections officers on the local, state, and federal levels and for positions with community agencies that deal with crime, the criminal justice system, and victims of crime.
Students who choose graduate school typically pursue doctoral programs in criminal justice or enter law school.
