The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BSCJ) degree program puts our students on a fast-track for careers in the dynamic field of criminal justice. It also equips students with the skills necessary for graduate school and guarantees sufficient exposure to a foreign language to enrich career paths and broaden professional opportunities. The program also offers a minor in criminal justice for students majoring in other fields, and a minor in forensic investigation, which is open to both criminal justice majors and non-majors. There is an opportunity for internships, during which students engage with potential employers and hone career skills prior to graduation. The internship program is designed for maximum flexibility; internships can be full-time or part-time, and paid or unpaid. 


For information on majors and minors, see Program Descriptions in this catalog.
