Pursuing a Criminal Justice Major provides comprehensive knowledge of constitutional principles like due process, equal protection, and fundamental fairness across law enforcement, judicial systems, and correctional facilities. The curriculum covers diverse criminal justice domains such as social services, courtroom procedures, policing, incarceration systems, fraud investigation, policy development, crisis response, digital security, asset protection, regulatory compliance, intelligence operations, youth justice systems, forensic science, and victim advocacy. Students gain hands-on learning opportunities through externships with criminal justice organizations, available for application starting their third year. Graduates emerge ready to launch careers in municipal, state, or federal agencies, private sector positions, or continue their education through advanced degrees in criminal justice or legal studies.
