The criminal justice field is expanding. While opportunities are growing, the number of qualified candidates has declined. Individuals with contemporary criminal justice skills are in-demand in the areas of law enforcement, corrections, juvenile and victim assistance, social services and the court system.

The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BSCJ) degree program focuses on the study of the dimensions and causes of crime and delinquency. Its goal is to provide you with a sophisticated understanding of the operations of society’s system to contain crime. The BSCJ degree program is also designed to provide you with a solid foundation in law enforcement, the courts and corrections. The program’s inclusion of interpersonal skills and management skills can prepare you for positions of responsibility and leadership within the criminal justice community and related professions.
