Criminal justice

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.
