BS in Criminal Justice | Bachelor's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 4 years | Trine University | Angola

While many colleges and universities offer "quick courses" in select areas of criminal justice, such as basic police courses, the bachelor of science with a major in criminal justice program teaches criminal law, psychology and the academic base needed to pursue a career in criminal justice or law school. Our program is not a "Cop Shop" (courses focusing strictly on a career as an entry-level police officer), nor is it strictly theoretically based. Our program is a mix of practical knowledge taught by current professionals in the field (judges, lawyers, coroners, law enforcement officers, and administrators) and theory. Our criminal justice major also has a strong psychology component. Trine currently is one of the only undergraduate programs in the U.S. to specialize in forensic and correctional psychology.
