A Just Education
Our society depends on criminal justice professionals to protect and promote the common good.
Criminal Justice Programs at Fort Hays State University will prepare you for a rewarding career in law enforcement, corrections or the legal system with innovative online and on-campus programs. We challenge students to learn the theory behind criminal justice practices that must adapt to rapidly accelerating change—at the local, state, national and global level. You will get hands-on experience and develop the following skills and qualities:
- An understanding of the nature of crime and the agencies and processes that work against it
- Knowledge about principles that form the nation's approach to crime and the discretion needed for dealing with different cases
- The ability to think critically and solve problems
- The ability to communicate well, verbally and in writing
Our criminal justice graduates lead as well as serve, and they perform with competence, innovation and integrity. The quality of protection and security tomorrow begins with purposeful preparation today.
