Mission Statement

The mission of the program is to provide students with courses that support a liberal arts, interdisciplinary education that instills critical thinking, writing skills, social interaction, career readiness, personal reflection, compassion and empathy for solving domestic, legal, political, and social problems. The major is designed to produce graduates who have a passion for public service and learning in the context of a Christian environment. While developing knowledge in social and legal areas, graduates will be well prepared to address the 21st century domestic and global criminal justice and public safety issues in specialized careers in local, state, and federal criminal justice systems.
