专业描述

What do you do with a degree in criminal justice? You’ll be surprised at the array of options available to you: law enforcement, private security, probation, parole, corrections, cybercrime/computer forensics, law school, graduate school . . . and that’s just a start. More importantly, the skills that you’ll develop as a result of majoring in criminal justice will serve you regardless of the specific field you choose. Students graduating from the program will be able to think critically; effectively communicate — either in writing or verbally; understand, manipulate, and interpret quantitative data; be engaged citizens; and effectively work as a member of a team. These skills are highly valued by employers and constitute some of the core necessities for success in the 21st century workforce. How do we know this? We asked recruiters at companies with whom we’ve worked, including Facebook and VISA, and government agencies like the National Institute of Standards (NIST), the FBI, or the National Security Agency (NSA).
