Criminal Justice BS

Criminal Justice - 54 Credits

The goal of the criminal justice program here at William Woods University is to permit students to maximize their hiring potential by allowing them focus their studies in a particular area, and in some cases, choose to double major in a related field of study; such as political legal studies or cybersecurity. We offer three content areas which address the growing nature of the field of criminal justice. Students can focus their studies in the areas of law enforcement, homeland and industrial security or cybersecurity. We also offer students the opportunity to engage in field experience, internships and law enforcement related trainings.
