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.

• Local, State, & Federal Law Enforcement
• Court Administration
• Law School
• Probation & Parole
• Corrections
