The Criminal Justice Major offers a curriculum focused upon the role of criminal justice within the broader concept of social justice in a multi-cultural, industrialized democracy. Specialized areas of study include the Administration of Justice, Criminal Law, the Principles of Correctional Operations, Juvenile Justice, Criminal Procedure, Law Enforcement, Criminological Theory, and Security Studies. The program prepares the student for a wide variety of careers in Criminal Justice, and for graduate study in Criminal Justice and related fields. It also lays the foundation for success as a criminal justice professional and as a citizen through an understanding of the integration of liberal, interdisciplinary learning with the needs of criminal justice in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century, and develops the student\u2019s analytical and communications skills in research and writing methods for Criminal Justice professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The curriculum guides the student through the historical, theoretical and practical aspects of the discipline and incorporates discussion of current issues in the field of criminal justice and challenges the student to analyze and evaluate the performance of the criminal justice system in deterring crime, protecting the public, and fostering a just society. The program also exposes the student to select specialized courses in Law and Judicial Administration, Law Enforcement, Corrections, Criminological Theory, Juvenile Justice, Forensics, and Intelligence. The curriculum has been designed in accordance with current SPS standards as well as the related professional certification standards of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS).<\/p>\n<p><script>\nfunction toggleCourse(control) {\n\tif ($(control).hasClass('dyn_course_off')) {\n    \t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_off').addClass('dyn_course_on');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t}\n    } else {\n\t\t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_on').addClass('dyn_course_off');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideUp();\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideUp();\n\t\t}\n\t}\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<span id=\"Major_Requirements\"><h2>Major Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p>Forty-five (45) credits of course work are required for the Criminal Justice major involving thirty-six (36) credits of required <em>core<\/em> course work and nine (9) credits of required <em>concentration<\/em> course work.
