Criminal Justice Major


Program Name: Criminal Justice

Program Designation: B.A.

Program Contact: Dr. Bernie Meyer 

Academic Division: Behavioral and Social Sciences

Program Description:

Do you want to help and protect people? Would you like to use some of the same investigative equipment that you see in those CSI TV shows? Then our criminal justice major is just what you’re looking for.

In our program, you’ll use forensic techniques to investigate “crime scenes” in our Crime Scene House, which will be added to our campus during the spring semester. You’ll examine evidence in our crime lab. And, you’ll work with high-tech equipment that some professional law officers don’t have. You can also get real-world experience on an internship. Work alongside a police officer. Spend time at the local federal prison. You could even get an internship with the FBI. 

With your criminal justice degree, you’ll be prepared for many kinds of careers: Work as a crime scene investigator. Be a police, probation or correctional officer. Join federal or state law enforcement. Be a child welfare case worker. 

Read about one student who will be interning with the FBI this summer in the Behavioral Science Division in Quantico, Va.
