The Criminal Justice Department provides thorough knowledge of agencies and institutions in the justice system, teaches the important role of law in delivering American justice and examines the social, psychological, and political aspects of contemporary crime and punishment.
Whether it’s learning to collect criminal evidence, developing a management plan for police organizations or designing a correctional institution, you will benefit from an extreme amount of hands-on experience.
As a criminal justice major at Waynesburg University, you will have access to a number of unique opportunities such as participating in mock crime scenes and mock trials or interning at places like sheriffs’ offices, probation offices, federal agencies, private detective agencies, police departments, law offices, human service agencies, coroners’ offices and other organizations.
You will also have the opportunity to learn the history, function and role of the American legal system, as well as research techniques, law enforcement procedures and other skills that are essential to success in the field of criminal justice.
Facilities
Our criminal justice students can practice speed, accuracy and dexterity with the University’s Lasershot Firearms Simulation System that is housed within the campus Criminal Justice Center. Criminal Justice classes also use this for mock-crime scenes and house raids to understand what these experiences would be like in out in the field.
