Criminal Justice is a challenging, exciting, rewarding career—it requires fast thinking and often independent problem solving from one situation to another. The critical and creative thinking of Criminal Justice personnel is constantly being put to the test: from the police officer improvising to de-escalate a confrontation to the public defender who has to develop the best argument to defend their client or the rehabilitation worker who must motivate youth away from substance use/abuse. The 4-year Criminal Justice major will prepare you for the profession or help you advance if you’re already in it.
