Description	"Given many of the controversial issues currently facing our criminal justice system, it is imperative that students, as aspiring professionals, have a deep understanding of the relevant subject matter. A degree in criminal justice provides students entering the workforce with a broad range of information specific to the courts, police, and corrections. The focus of the criminal justice program is to develop the critical thinking skills necessary for individuals to excel in their chosen professions, as well as to assist them in developing the types of policy reforms which may benefit the system as a whole."
