Experiences

One of our goals is to prepare students to be successful professionals. To achieve this we provide a total educational experience by extending learning beyond the classroom which includes exposure to criminal justice vocations, field internships, practitioners, student organizations, and extra-curricular activities. The areas below are only a partial list of the student experiences available in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology.

Study Abroad Program

The department offers international study abroad programs for students interested in earning course credit while exploring criminal justice practices in other countries. Often in collaboration with other universities, we participate in international and comparative criminal justice study programs that travel to various locations around the world. This gives our undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to experience diverse cultures, visit exotic ports of call, and learn about crime and criminal justice in a foreign country. Each program is led by a departmental faculty member who provides course instruction during study abroad.
