- Have you ever visited a prison or jail to see what it’s really like? Would you like the opportunity to work with delinquent juveniles who are in the juvenile justice system? Have you ever wondered what happened to them or how they became delinquent? Is criminal profiling an art or a science? What are the basic steps in conducting a criminal investigation? And what do people who plan a career in law enforcement need to know about forensic science or white collar crime? These are some of the questions addressed by Criminal Justice majors.
- How would you like to learn all parts of a lawsuit? What does the Constitution have to do with the practice of law today?
