What our students say about the Criminal Justice program
“I was very intimidated at first, but my professors have helped me in areas that will be beneficial to my career in law enforcement. We are challenged as if we were on the witness stand and forced to think under pressure. As I get ready to graduate and transition into my career with law enforcement, I am grateful for my professors' intentionality to prepare us for what lies ahead.”
