Why now is a great time to be in criminal justice with Greg Willeford
Is grad school for you? with Dr. Misty Weitzel
Did you know there’s more than one way to major under the Criminal Justice Sciences Division?
We offer three majors! The BS Criminal Justice and BS Cybersecurity Investigation and Enforcement are our “traditional” options designed for incoming freshman and transfer students with their AAOT. The BAS Criminal Justice is an all new major designed to support individuals with a terminal or non-transfer associate’s degree who wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree to advance in their careers, change careers or who may seek to pursue graduate education.
