- Description
- RIT’s BS in criminal justice goes beyond exploring issues of law and justice and teaches you to evaluate the intended and unintended consequences of criminal justice policies and decision-making. The degree prepares you for a wide range of careers in federal and local agencies. It also provides continuing education for professionals already employed in criminal justice positions and offers a strong academic foundation for graduate or law school. The major offers a rare combination of a broad core curriculum, an extensive scope of professional course offerings, an intensive field experience where students blend knowledge gained in the classroom with a career-oriented internship, and opportunities for cooperative education. This comprehensive appraoch develops your understanding of crime and how the criminal justice system responds. It also offers opportunities to consider policy responses and engage in hands-on research in local agencies. The emphasis within the areas of crime, criminal behavior, social control mechanisms, administration, planning, and management is on problem-solving techniques based on the growing body of research in the field as well as students' own guided research.
