agencies. The Department maintains close and friendly relations with all of these facilities, which greatly
enhances the learning opportunities.

Kent State University - Kent(OH) - The Department of Justice Studies acknowledges its
relationship to the College of Arts & Sciences and the interdisciplinary nature of its discipline and seeks
through its curriculum to provide students with a broad foundation of knowledge grounded in the
humanities and social sciences. Further, recognizing that a humane and equitable provision of justice is
the foundation of a democratic society, the Department seeks to sensitize students to the values and
views of diverse segments of society. In pursuit of this goal, courses within the curriculum serve to
further students' conceptual understanding of the values, ethics, and power relationships involved in the
process of justice. In short, while never losing our essential roots in the liberal arts, humanities and
social sciences, we recognize and make explicit the duality of our field. It is both academic and
professional. It is both conceptual and applied.
At the undergraduate level, the goals of the Department are to provide all students with a broad
understanding of the functions, roles and critical issues within all the components of criminal justice. We
seek to equip majors with the necessary knowledge, insight and sensitivity to occupy positions in public
and private criminal justice agencies and to encourage further professional development and graduate
education.
The goals of the M.A. in Criminal Justice are for students to build a firm theoretical and methodological
foundation on the causation, treatment, and control of crime and delinquency, and the process of law
and justice, to develop professional skills through experience in situations where knowledge gained in
the classroom can be tested in applied settings, and to develop a behavioral and attitudinal orientation
appropriate for the criminal justice profession.
The faculty of the Department is committed to providing the high quality of instruction necessary to
obtain the aforementioned goals. Further, the faculty recognizes its responsibilities to further the
development of the field of criminal justice through individual research and scholarship. We seek to
serve both the University and the larger community through the provisions of professional expertise
where such contributions serve the furtherance of justice. Providing consultative services, workshops,
and seminars to public and private justice related agencies are just some of the ways of actualizing our
special responsibility to make positive contributions toward the quality of life in Ohio.

Loyola University New Orleans - New Orleans(LA) - Loyola University New Orleans has
significantly contributed to the professionalization of criminal justice personnel in the New Orleans
metropolitan area, in the state and in the nation. Loyola University New Orleans began its Criminal
Justice Degree Program in 1960. Since that time, the program has graduated over 1,000 students with
Bachelor of Criminal Justice (BCJ) degrees. Many of these individuals are now employed in both private
and public organizations, including federal governmental agencies such as the Department of Homeland
Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), U.S. Border Patrol,
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), U.S. Marshall’s Office, U.S. Customs, U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and in numerous state and local
criminal justice agencies. About twenty-three percent of our undergraduate majors have also gone on to
receive advanced degrees (Master, Doctorate, JD).
Over the years Loyola’s Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree program has provided a solid foundation
for students seeking either advanced degrees or employment in today’s rapidly growing field of criminal
justice. As a result, Loyola University has acquired a reputation for excellence in the field of higher
education in criminology. Our program exceeds the Minimum Standards For Criminal Justice Education
as set forth in Guidelines for College and University-Level Programs by the Academy of Criminal Justice
Sciences. The emphasis on values and ethics and the solid liberal arts grounding of the common

contemplating a career in criminal justice, we suggest that you examine the Master of Criminal Justice
degree offered at Loyola University New Orleans. While the program is geared toward career
enhancement of professionals already working in the field, openings for highly qualified individuals
desiring to enter the profession are available. Such individuals will be taking classes with other students
who are in career tracks ranging from federal law enforcement to corporate security. In addition to
obtaining a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied knowledge, the opportunity to work with
professionals in a classroom setting will provide an invaluable experience not usually obtained in more
traditional types of graduate programs.

The bachelor of science in criminal justice and criminology is designed to provide professional courses
as well as a broad general education. The curriculum is structured for the student seeking either
pre-service or in-service education. Recognizing that many people who are interested in such education
are already employed in some form of criminal justice work, and that many people have completed
course-work at the community college level, the department has developed a four-year program that
provides comprehensive fundamental subjects in the first two years (lower-division). The curriculum is
structured to facilitate transfer from two-year police science/criminal justice programs. The department
has an articulation agreement with the Colorado Community College System. The articulation agreement
states that if a transfer student has completed the total basic requirements at any accredited Colorado
community college, Metropolitan State College of Denver will consider the student's General Studies
requirements completed.
Michigan State University - East Lansing(MI) - The prevention of crime, the protection of life
and property, the preservation of peace, the safeguarding of civil rights, and the maintenance of social
order with justice and freedom for all, are essential to the functioning of a democratic society.
To provide for this security, safety, peace, and freedom, public and private agencies at the local, state,
and federal levels are engaged in activities designed to prevent crime and delinquency; intervene in
criminal acts; apprehend offenders; adjudicate alleged offenses; redirect emergent criminal careers;
promote safety and security in industrial and commercial organizations; increase highway safety; and to
emphasize total community responsibility for these goals.
The School provides pre-professional education to prepare students for base-line careers in public and
private service identified with the administration of criminal justice. The pre- professional curriculum is
oriented to general education with particular emphasis upon the social sciences.
The program leading to the Master of Science in Criminal Justice is designed to improve the
administration and planning components of the criminal justice system. The student who has earned a
master's degree from the School of Criminal Justice will appreciate the diversity of issues confronting the
criminal justice system and its sub-components and will be prepared to address these issues through
the application of theoretical concepts in administrative and planning applications to public policy issues
in crime control and the disposition of offenders.
