Thanks to television programs like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Criminal Justice is now one of the most popular majors at Albertus. Building on the College's strengths in Sociology and Psychology, the Criminal Justice major and Bachelor of Science degree in this field will prepare students for employment in those social services and criminal justice sectors which directly support police and government law enforcement efforts. The focus of the major will be to ensure that students understand the criminal justice system in the United States as it is related to class structure, race, ethnicity, and gender so that they will develop a more person-centered understanding of crime and law enforcement. Counseling skills, coupled with an understanding of individuals' behavior within families and groups in society, will ensure that students, as leaders in the community and as professionals, are prepared for respectful and effective interaction with citizens. *Offered in an accelerated format, most students can complete their Criminal Justice degree in a year and a half while only having to take two classes at a time.* |
