Mission Statement: The Bachelor of Arts degree in
Criminal Justice is designed to empower students as critical
thinkers, effective oral communicators, and competent writers in
subject matters of crime and justice, to include: (1) the
nature, extent, and causation of crime; (2) the role of criminal
law in the regulation of human conduct; (3) the philosophy,
theory, policies, practices, processes, and reform of American
police agencies at the federal, state, and local levels; (4) the
philosophy, theory, policies, practices, processes, and reform
of American courts at the federal, state and local levels; (5)
the philosophy, theory, policies, practices, processes, and
reform of American correctional institutions at the federal,

skills and knowledge and have been exposed to other relevant
topics such as juvenile delinquency, the role of women in the
justice process, ethical concerns for criminal justice
practitioners, understanding of and appreciation for cultural
and ethnic diversity, the connection between drugs and crime,
and the dynamics of gangs and violence, are prepared for
graduate study, law school, or challenging careers in the field
of criminal justice.
