Degree Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice

The Department of Criminal Justice/Fire Safety/Security Administration offers a Bachelor of Science degree program which combines professional studies in the fields of criminal justice (law enforcement or courts, probation, corrections, parole and juvenile justice) with studies in fire science and safety and security administration.

The degree program is designed for individuals who are currently involved in the fields of criminal justice, juvenile justice, fire science and safety and security, as well as for those students who seek careers in these related fields. All course work is offered on a dual track basis, whereby the student, and particularly the in-service student, has the option to attend the same class at two different times during the same day, at either 9:00 A.M. or 7:00 P.M. This system was adopted to accommodate students with varying work schedules.
