Academics: School of Arts & Sciences

Our Criminal Justice Department offers amazing educational opportunities in one of our nation's fastest growing occupational fields.

Chowan's expert faculty teach the broad academics necessary to prepare and equip students for a variety of professions, graduate school or law school with relevant and high quality classes.

By combining dynamic courses and real world internships, our highly skilled professors use student-centered learning in a helpful environment integrated with teaching criminal justice and sociological strategies.

Through small class sizes, they can fully engage your individual interests in criminal investigation, law enforcement and litigation.

With a wide range of courses including Corporate and White Collar Crime, Arson Investigation, and Criminal Evidence, students will be well on their way to becoming a professional CSI.

Courses like Juvenile Delinquency, Drug Use and Abuse in Society, Probation and Parole, and Police-Community Relations will prepare students to face a wide range of challenges they may encounter in their new careers.

If you want to ensure justice from the courtroom, we offer courses like Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and the American Judicial System. These students can also receive special attention through our Pre-Law Advisory Program coordinated by the chairman of the Department of Criminal Justice, Bert Wyatt.

Through these academic endeavors and many more, students also learn to evaluate moral and ethical issues they will face everyday in their careers to come, as well as learning to think critically and communicate clearly in the face of diverse challenges.

To best prepare students, Chowan offers a unique internship opportunity through the cooperation of the local area officials. Students gain valuable real world experience while learning and earning course credits. You can also boost your resume by joining our Criminal Justice Club and earning a spot in Alpha Phi Sigma, our criminal justice honor society.

Chowan University's Department of Criminal Justice prepares all our students for lifelong learning and captivating careers with a focus on public service professions that will meet the academic and professional needs of our students and their future employers.
