The Department of Criminal Justice at Plymouth State University aims to serve students interested in careers in law enforcement, court administration, corrections, juvenile services, and graduate or law school. Consistent with the general mission of Plymouth State University, the department seeks to produce well-rounded graduates who are equipped to both continue their education and enter the workforce. In addition, the department serves the surrounding community, not only by producing high-quality graduates well prepared to enter their field but also by partnering with local and regional agencies to provide academic and research support.
Students in the BS in criminal justice program focus on career preparation. The program includes a heavy emphasis on the criminal justice system itself and how the system branches operate together and independently. Students develop skills in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to, problem-solving techniques, communication skills, computing skills, and technical writing skills, along with an appreciation for ethical and professional behaviour in the field. Upon completion of the program, students will be well prepared for a variety of criminal justice careers. Students will also have developed an independent sense of self, tolerance toward others and the ability to work in diverse cultures.
