About the Program
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Criminal Justice Administration, similar to other degree-completion programs, is designed specifically for the working adult over 25 years of age. This curriculum uses the cohort system of learning covering the subject matter in modular and serial courses (a new course begins after the prior one is completed). The curriculum focuses on the organization, management, and administration of the criminal justice system in all its forms from law enforcement, court systems, state and national agencies (e.g., FBI, homeland security, Department of Interior, immigration and naturalization, Internet security, and industrial security, etc.) This degree is available in the traditional “face-to-face” format at the University's extension site in Shreveport, LA, or as hybrid courses with online and face-to-face components, or entirely in an online modality.
Future Job Opportunities
Because the curriculum focuses on the organization, management, and administration of the criminal justice system in all its forms from law enforcement, court systems, state, and national agencies (e.g., FBI, homeland security, Department of Interior, immigration and naturalization, Internet security, and industrial security, etc.), the CRJA degree focuses on the leadership and operations of the criminal justice system.
