The Criminal Justice Program is a professional educational endeavor. The profession embodies three separate components – law enforcement, courts and corrections–which constitute the Criminal Justice System. Although their functions are separate, they are interrelated.
The program in Criminal Justice leads to the B.A. degree in Criminal Justice. The program is designed to prepare students for positions in the criminal justice system at entry level. The program will also meet the needs of students preparing to pursue graduate studies.
The primary objectives of the Criminal Justice Program are to provide knowledge and comprehension of the foundations, principles and procedures of the criminal justice system. The course of study is designed so that it not only provides a treatment of substantive legal procedures which all students should become acquainted with, but also includes an in-depth consideration of other bodies of knowledge germane to the criminal justice system.
