Criminal Justice Major

The criminal justice major is an excellent starting point for those interested in careers in law enforcement, government, the non-profit sector, law, and community and victim advocacy. Recent graduates have worked for federal, state, and local governments as police officers, probation officers, and correctional officers. Graduates have also gone on to work for non-profits that address the needs of youth who are at-risk of delinquency, formerly incarcerated individuals, victims of sex trafficking, and families and communities in need of support.
