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/juvenile justice systems or advanced studies in graduate or law programs. Alumni pursue careers in municipal policing, state/federal investigative bodies, correctional facilities, probation/parole services (both adult and juvenile), 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 techniques, particularly evidence collection and analytical methods that strengthen prosecutorial outcomes. Those choosing this concentration follow a specialized curriculum plan.
