The mission of the Department of Criminal Justice is to prepare students to become leaders, outstanding practitioners, scholars, and advocates for social justice in a diverse and global society. Students are required to take courses providing a comprehensive overview of the Criminal Justice system and select an emphasis area in Law Enforcement, Courts/Law, Corrections/Counseling, or Research based on their career or graduate school interests.
