Justice Studies Mission Statement
Justice Studies is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry focused on the philosophical, theoretical and practical applications of justice, and on the resolution of conflict within society. Rather than train individuals for a particular occupation through sole instruction in specific vocational skills, the program offers a broad liberal arts education which focuses on the cultivation of analytical and creative thought, and the ability to communicate effectively in a 21st century workplace and social environment.
The Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, and concentrations in the Bachelor of General Studies and Master of Liberal Studies degree programs in the broader Justice Studies program offers curriculum and experience designed to prepare students for careers in criminal justice agencies and allied fields. Additionally, the program is comparable with law school admissions, and as a precursor to entrance into quality social science graduate programs.
