“I love the Criminal Justice Program as well as each of the professors that are involved in the program, all of which have spent several years working in their field. I really enjoy this aspect as I am being taught real world scenarios as well as how to apply them in the Criminal Justice field. There are various classes associated with the major that I have really enjoyed. Some of my favorite classes so far have been courses about victimology, serial killers and legal aspects of criminal justice.”
