| Criminal Justice
Criminal Justice career opportunities are vast. In fact, those who seek employment immediately after completing their degree generally have good prospects in such areas as local, state, and some federal law
enforcement, state and federal probation and parole, correctional counseling, court services and administration,
juvenile justice and family services, and private security. In addition, many public and private agencies will have criminal justice related job openings in planning, research, and data analysis. These employment opportunities are especially strong for graduates who have sharpened their statistical and computer science skills. Fluency in a
foreign language (especially Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic) is also a decided advantage, especially in federal law enforcement.
For those who do not enter the work world immediately after graduation, there are several professional and graduate degree programs of interest. These include law, public administration, political science, social work, clinical psychology, educational psychology, sociology, and others.
