Degree in Criminal Justice
Students in the Criminal Justice program gain the skills, attitudes, insights, responsibility, ethics, and operational understanding necessary to succeed in the field. Along with learning the general principles, theory, policies, and procedures in the practice of criminal justice, students are exposed to social issues that provide insight into the causes and consequence of criminal behavior. With this understanding, they are encouraged to explore and think creatively to develop prevention strategies that help to solve future problems.

The major in Leadership and Organization Management focuses on private, public, and not-for-profit organizations. Students completing all requirements have a broad knowledge of organization types, organization behavior, and the demands on leadership. Equally important is the acquisition and development of leadership skills in community-based organizations, social services, and the public arena.
