The Criminal Justice Program provides two degree paths: a general criminal justice track and a Forensic Investigation specialization. Both curricula combine academic instruction with professional engagement across multiple fields, equipping students for roles in criminal and juvenile justice systems, as well as advanced studies in graduate or law programs. Alumni pursue careers in municipal policing, state/federal investigative bodies, correctional facilities, probation services, victim advocacy, private security, and related human services. Students earn either a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice or a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with Forensic Investigation specialization.
The Forensic Investigation specialization emphasizes crime scene examination, particularly evidence collection and interpretation techniques that strengthen prosecutorial outcomes. Those choosing this concentration follow a specialized curriculum plan.
