The objective of the major is to provide the student with an overall perspective of local, state and national law enforcement and criminal justice systems. The program emphasizes the sociological underpinnings of the field of criminal justice. An emphasis is placed on the helping nature of these professions and students become familiar with the appropriate roles and responsibilities of the criminal justice professional.
Students may enter careers in law enforcement, corrections, probation, parole, or private security as well as graduate studies in criminal justice, sociology, law and other human service disciplines.
