Program offered is a Bachelor.
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice provides dynamic and intensive instruction in all aspects of the Criminal Justice system. The program is 18 months in duration and expands upon the core knowledge and skills attained by the student in the Associate in Science Degree in Criminal Justice.
The program exposes students to more rigorous study of Criminal Justice topics like Case Studies in Criminal Forensics, Domestic & Family Law Issues, Integration of Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, and Contemporary Issues in Corrections. Students are also provided with the opportunity to choose classes that focus on Digital Forensics or more traditional Criminal Justice topics in designated quarters.
Students are exposed to various specialized disciplines under the Criminal Justice umbrella such as domestic terrorism, ethics, financial and white-collar crimes, corporate and private security, and administrative issues. Students will also study police operations, including traffic enforcement, report writing, use of force issues, critical incident tactics and advanced investigation techniques.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice students will utilize the skills and knowledge acquired in each quarter to participate in a challenging multi session Criminal Justice Senior Capstone in their final quarter. The Criminal Justice Senior Capstone Project is a real time investigative assignment beginning with a mock crime event and involves gathering information from victims and/or witnesses, processing the crime scene, and culminates with drafting a comprehensive report and evidence portfolio that will be presented to a panel of law enforcement professionals.
