Students with officers who provided a K9 demonstration on campus.

The Criminal Justice program has a 95% rate on students either being accepted into a grad program upon graduation or being offered a full-time position in their discipline. Students have hands-on projects, internships and many opportunities to shadow or ride-a-long with the Murfreesboro Police Department. The faculty in Criminal Justice brings speakers to campus for students to hear the many opportunities that a bachelor’s degree in this field can allow them. The field is not limited and we have students in FBI, Secret Service, Corrections, Probation, Game Warden, Courts, and more.


They really encouraged me to push myself to do things that I myself did not believe I could do. And that is really the best thing about Chowan University, is that the professors and the advisors, they will encourage you, they will help you out in anyway they can so that you can really have faith in your future.
