The SVSU Criminal Justice Department ’s goal is to provide a liberal arts education with an interdisciplinary focus on crime and criminal justice. The curriculum core provides students with an overview of policing, criminal courts, corrections, and criminal justice policy. In addition, the program offers instruction based upon the current criminal justice trends and policies. Such courses may include: juvenile justice, correctional policy and treatment, human relations, community corrections, and other contemporary issues.
This program will prepare students for entry-level positions in a variety of public and private agencies related to criminal justice, provide the opportunity for practicing police officers to enhance their professional knowledge and abilities, and provide students with the background necessary to pursue graduate studies. |
