CRIMINAL JUSTICE The criminal justice major enables students to enter employment in fields related to law enforcement, courts, corrections, victim advocacy and assistance, and also provides a foundation for graduate study. Students gain preparation for careers throughout criminal justice in the private occupational sector as well as with public agencies at the local, state, or federal level.
