Description
The baccalaureate degree program in Criminal Justice is designed to provide a strong background in all areas of criminal justice, to allow concentration in one of several areas, and to prepare the student for entry-level positions in a variety of criminal justice agencies. The program is both theoretical and practical. It is theoretical in that it provides a good understanding of critical issues in the field. It is practical because it requires an internship of 160 hours working in a criminal justice agency in probation, corrections, or law enforcement. The program also provides other practical opportunities such as tours of facilities and agencies, guest speakers, films, video cassettes, and the option of cooperative education. The Criminal Justice Society sponsors annual trips to metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Washington D.C., and Toronto to tour multiple criminal justice agencies.
Sample Four-Year Course Plan
The Criminal Justice Program offers an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice as well as a minor. The Associate degree prepares students for some entry level positions in the criminal justice field. The program also offers five courses in the new Forensic Science Program. The Criminal Justice Program has embraced the service learning and civic engagement emphasis at Defiance College because this emphasis provides unique opportunities to learn outside the classroom and to have more criminal justice agency contact. Civic engagement at Defiance College pushes our students to understand the value of contributing to many of those programs in which our graduates will be a part. It takes citizens and professional staff to make most programs excel.
