Why Earn Your Criminal Justice BA Degree?

A bachelor鈥檚 degree in Criminal Justice allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the criminal justice system. This understanding stems from a hands-on approach to exploring key criminal justice concepts and opportunities to engage with active professionals. Examples of this are as follows:

Internships: Internships are individually designed based on your career interests. Past internships have included placements in local and regional police departments, prosecutor鈥檚 offices, juvenile centers, the New Hampshire State Prison, probation departments, law offices, and victim assistance programs.

Criminal Investigations: Explore techniques for the collection and preservation of physical evidence, crime scene photography, blood spatter analysis, lifting and storing fingerprints, crime scene reconstruction, and the investigative processes applicable to specific crimes.

Contemporary Law Enforcement: In addition to exploring contemporary law enforcement practices and challenges, you will participate in a two-day law enforcement hiring seminar conducted by independent law enforcement personnel. The seminar includes an exploration of the hiring process, including the police officer entry exam, the background investigation process, the polygraph examination, and practice procedures for the oral board/interview phases. Students participate directly in a minimum of two simulated law enforcement oral boards/interviews.

Issues in Professional Practice (Senior Seminar): Prepare for the challenges and responsibilities of working as a criminal justice professional, including the transition from student to employment and opportunities within the field, by preparing r茅sum茅s, interviewing professionals, and presenting the results of a research project on a contemporary criminal justice issue.

On past trips, students have been the guests of the FBI and DEA at Quantico, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Supreme Court and a local trial court, the U.S. Capitol Police, local police departments, and the Adult Detention Center in Manassas, Virginia.
