Criminal Justice
Overview
The mission of this degree program is to provide students with a strong education in criminal justice theory and practice. These elements enable BPC students to master disciplinary knowledge and apply that knowledge in professional law enforcement contexts. These two degrees are designed to build upon each other and to produce graduates who have a passion for public service in the context of a Biblical Worldview. Graduates will be exceptionally prepared for careers in law enforcement, public safety, legal investigations, legal assistance, internet security, juvenile justice, compliance and national security. They will be foundationally prepared and academically equipped to meet the challenges of contemporary domestic and global criminal justice issues and apply their knowledge to principle and practice in all areas of careers in local, state, and federal criminal justice systems.
