Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice

Program Overview

The Criminal Justice BA (CJ-BA) Program is designed for students who desire to enter or are newly entering a Criminal Justice System (CJS) profession, and those already established who are seeking long-term career growth.

The program provides an overarching view of the criminal justice system; highlighting foundational and evolving changes, current research trends, professionalism, ethics, creative decision-making, and leadership development as central themes. CSP graduates enter their careers equipped to help shape a positive future for criminal justice in our communities.

The Criminal Justice program has been approved by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) academic licensure requirements, and continuing education (CE) credits toward annual licensure requirements.

From the first courses in the CJ-BA program, students immerse themselves in the foundations of criminal justice and modern research. Students gain job-specific knowledge along with a depth of understanding of Constitutional, cultural, and ethical considerations associated with roles in the criminal justice system.

Advanced coursework goes beyond the basic knowledge required to enter law enforcement. The program aims to foster new leaders in criminal justice that align with modern challenges and opportunities. Upon graduation, students will find themselves equipped to make a real difference in the positions which they serve.
