Welcome Message from the Dean
The criminal justice system is the network of multiple, interrelated pillars, consisting of academia, law enforcement, forensic services, the judiciary, and corrections. These pillars are fashioned to support the ideals of legal justice. The College of Criminal Justice students are imbued with solid moral values, ethical leadership, and nothing but the truth.
