Learn MoreClient Services/Corrections
The Client Services/Corrections emphasis is designed for anyone who is interested in working as a probation, parole or corrections officer, or seeks to fulfill administrative roles at detention centers.
Mandatory sentencing guidelines calling for reduced parole and longer sentences for inmates have resulted in large, steady growth in the prison population, and in many states, there is more emphasis on rehabilitation and alternate forms of punishment, such as probation, increasing demand for additional probation and corrections officers.
Criminal Offenders
The Criminal Offenders emphasis of our accredited Bachelor of Science Criminal Justice degree focuses on forensic psychology and criminal behavior as it relates to law and the legal system, such as in analyzing a criminal's mind and intent, consulting with attorneys (e.g., on picking a jury), and treating offenders who are mentally ill.
Homeland Security
Prepare for a career in Homeland Security--a dynamic, diverse and pivotal field. The work required to protect the nation is constantly changing, just like security threats themselves. We offer a focused, real-world curriculum that will ready you for the front lines of protecting our nation and its people.
In the air, on land and at sea--Homeland Security work is available everywhere. There are jobs in every state of the nation, from immigration and customs enforcement to border protection; from emergency management to cyber security professionals.
Investigation/Law Enforcement
If you're interested in a meaningful career as an investigator or law enforcement professional, we can help you prepare. Current crime management employees or law enforcement officers, who are interested in furthering their education, should consider the Investigation/Law Enforcement emphasis of our Criminal Justice Bachelor's Degree.
