Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice is the study of the American criminal justice system. This system is composed of a series of interrelated components including the prevention, investigation, and apprehension functions of law enforcement; the prosecution, defending, judging, and administrative roles of the courts; the controlling, deterring, and rehabilitative roles of corrections; and the prevention and treatment functions of the juvenile justice system. In criminal justice, interpersonal and organizational dynamics are intricate and require knowledge of human behavior, social development, political philosophy, and other interrelated courses.
