Criminal Justice
The mission of the Criminal Justice major is to graduate individuals who are:
- Prepared to enter occupations or graduate study in the field with strong liberal arts skills (acquire information from a variety of sources; communicate clearly and effectively in written and oral formats; understand and work effectively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds; and think critically and make informed decisions).
- Competent in the theories, models, and methods of investigation in criminology, and in the fields and practices within criminal justice.
- Who carry into their professional work the university outcomes of Christlike character, academic excellence, social responsiveness, and creative engagement.
The major will serve students as part of a traditional four-year Christian liberal arts program, and also non-traditional students through alternative scheduling and delivery designed for professionals who work in the field, graduates from a community college program in criminal justice, or individuals who hold the BA degree in another field and wish to change professions.
