Overview
The Criminal Justice program prepares students for careers in public law enforcement (such as a police officer, FBI Agent, or National Security Agent), private law enforcement (such as Insurance investigation or Private Security Crime Analyst), and social services work (such as probation officer, Human Relations Commission, Pre-Trial Services, Victim Representative, or Corrections Officer).
Criminal Justice graduates have many career opportunities in both law enforcement and security.
