Exciting Careers in Criminal Justice!

Criminal Justice (CJ) is a social science that critically examines the causes and control of criminal behavior.  The CJ Department is interdisciplinary: criminologists, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and many others contribute their knowledge to the field.

Our commitment is to provide a broad liberal arts education.  We believe this will help prepare our students for a variety of professions, such as those in:

• Local, State, & Federal Law Enforcement
• Court Administration
• Law School
• Probation & Parole
• Corrections
• The Military
• Homeland Security
• Private Security
