The School of Criminal Justice is in the midst of many exciting changes this semester. We have recently moved into the newly-renovated Arthell Kelley Hall located at the front of campus. The relocation allows all faculty (CJ and Forensic Science) to be housed together. This makes for a wonderful and productive working relationship among the faculty as well as added convenience for our students. The building is now home for the School of Criminal Justice (CJ) departmental offices, a mock trial courtroom and numerous forensic science laboratories. We welcome you all to come for a tour.
The number of CJ majors continues to rise. Our students continue to find gainful employment with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. Our alums hold positions at the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service as well as a host of state and local law enforcement agencies and crime laboratories. In addition, many of our students are employed by the private sector. We also have a number of our best and brightest who have been accepted to graduate programs and law schools across the country. Clearly, Criminal Justice continues to be an exciting field with great opportunities for those who are willing to meet the challenge.
