Criminal Justice - Available on all three campuses

Designed to give students hands-on instruction in the field of criminal justice, this course allows students to patrol the campus and investigate mock crime scenes. They participate in role-plays, field trips, group projects and disaster drills to learn law and crisis intervention skills.

The course emphasizes teamwork, problem-solving and self discipline. Students use their skills by providing security at special events both on and off campus.
