The critical and creative thinking of Criminal Justice personnel is constantly being put to the test: from the police officer improvising to de-escalate a confrontation to the public defender who has to develop the best argument to defend their client or the rehabilitation worker who must motivate youth away from substance use/abuse. The 4-year Criminal Justice major will prepare you for the profession or help you advance if you're already in it.
