Description
The Criminal Justice curriculum prepares students to enter a range of occupations in the criminal justice system and to continue their education.The core courses form a foundation for understanding the operation of the criminal justice system, the causes of crime and delinquency, the history and application of criminal justice and constitutional law, and the ethical bases of criminal justice decision-making. Electives address the diverse issues facing the criminal justice system and encourage students to gain more specialized knowledge of policing, juvenile justice, corrections, and the private sector. Input from the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee and the opportunity to participate in a one-semester internship provides a link to criminal justice practice. One High School Mathematics Course or its equivalent is required.
