Criminal Justice
Program Summary
 The Criminal Justice
program has two areas of emphasis: law enforcement and corrections. The
field of Criminal Justice is one of the fastest growing and diverse
industries in the country. Graduates of the program work as corrections
officers, security guards, police officers, patrol officers,
probation/patrol officers, sheriff’s deputies, state troopers and for
such agencies as the U.S. Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Agency,
Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Postal
Inspection Service, Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms.
Persons who have
received college training in police science or military police
experience will have the best job opportunities. The opportunity for
public service through law enforcement work is attractive to many
because the job is challenging and involves much personal
responsibility.
