Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice

Criminal justice is a rapidly growing field, and the career options are widely varied. A criminal justice bachelor's degree from Rasmussen College can help you establish yourself as a leader in this critical industry. This advanced degree prepares you for many rewarding career options in crime management.

As a student in the criminal justice bachelor degree program, you will study criminal behavior, criminal law, cultural diversity and justice, criminal justice leadership, crime prevention and will participate in two fieldwork courses to gain real-world experience in criminal justice.

If you are currently working in the crime management industry, our criminal justice bachelor's degree will help you further your education and increase your potential for promotions, pay raises, and increased responsibility in the workplace.

The following concentrations are available from the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice:

Client 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. Continued training helps police officers, detectives and special agents improve job performance and advance in their careers.
