The Criminal Justice program at Emmanuel University prepares students to enter the multifaceted field of law enforcement, corrections, probation/parole, and juvenile justice. The Criminal Justice program at Emmanuel takes both an academic and practical approach. The student will pursue the substantive investigation of criminal justice as well as participating in practical experiences such as labs and internships. The program is also interdisciplinary, drawing from studies in sociology, psychology, political science, and pre-law studies.
The Criminal Justice program at Emmanuel University will:
- Begin from a Christ-centered worldview that will enable the graduate to integrate biblical principles with the various disciplinary approaches in the work of criminal justice.
- Prepare students with substantive knowledge of the court system, the enforcement system, and the rehabilitation system.
- Provide students with practical experience in criminal justice through seminars, internships, and field work to prepare them to move from the classroom to the job.
- Provide students with the education and training so they can demonstrate competence and the ability to formulate and express the results that will allow them advance to positions of leadership in their chosen criminal justice career.
