Aperçu
Why Choose Criminal Justice?
Crime is not simple. The Criminal Justice program at Elmira College aspires to cultivate creative and original thinking about one of the most challenging social problems of our time. Students are challenged from day one to understand and investigate criminological theory, learn criminal law and procedure, study the behaviors of victims and offenders, and even how to process a homicide scene.
What Criminal Justice Will Teach You
Criminal justice is a discipline that explores both theory and practical application of the many sub-disciplines it encompasses. Core classes provide a mastery of the major works and theories of criminology, policing, corrections, judicial studies, quantitative analysis, and behavioral analysis. Students are then able to select from numerous electives to make their experience unique to their career goals.
Where Criminal Justice Can Take You
Students with a major in criminal justice have gone on to federal, state, and local law enforcement, graduate school, law school, social work, and a host of other related professions. Students often double major in criminal justice and another major in the social sciences (i.e. psychology, social work, etc.). Recently, some students interested in attending law school have triple majored in criminal justice, legal studies, and political science – while still graduating early.
Structure du programme
Students who have completed the requirements will:
Demonstrate a knowledge of the four major areas of the criminal justice system: policing, courts, corrections, and the juvenile justice system, and the history of those components
Discuss the importance of federal and state statutory law, case law, and constitutional law as it relates to the criminal justice field, and evaluate the constraints imposed by those laws
Be able to critically analyze scholarly research, governmental crime statistics, and public policy
Discuss the relationship between the criminal justice complex and the socioeconomic elements of the American society
Explain the various types of crime and criminals, the numerous theories of crime causation, and the relationship between crime and its various correlates
Trace the various social movements over the years, and how they have impacted the criminal justice system
Articulate the special concerns of minorities, juveniles, and females in the criminal justice system
Note: Learning goals are subject to regular review and revision.
Opportunités de carrière
The education and co-curricular opportunities offered by Elmira College permit students who major in Criminal Justice to be successful.
Students who have majored in Criminal Justice over the past several years have gone on to graduate or law schools such as SUNY Buffalo Law School, Cambridge University, SUNY Albany, Alfred University, and Syracuse University; others have secured employment with the City of Richmond (Virginia) Police Department, the Las Vegas (Nevada) Police Department, Pennsylvania SPCA Humane Law Enforcement, Schuyler County (New York) Probation Department, United States Border Patrol, and as a Lieutenant in the United States Army.
Students must complete an internship in their field of study while attending Elmira College.
The Criminal Justice Department offers CRJ 4999: Internship in Criminal Justice that may be taken for 3.00-6.00 credits in order for students to work with local, state, and national organizations during normal working hours. A recent Elmira College student was selected out of a field of 13,000 students to complete the FBI’s summer internship program and invited to stay on after the internship ended. This speaks to the credibility of the EC Criminal Justice Program and the types of internships that students may complete.
Honor Societies:
Alpha Phi Sigma – Alpha Phi Sigma is the National Honor Society for outstanding criminal justice majors and minors. The mission and purpose of the honor society include: “the promotion of critical thinking, academic excellence, rigorous scholarship and life-long learning.” This organization is extremely important at Elmira College, not only because of its job offerings in the field, but because we expect the highest standards of police officers, corrections officers, judges, prosecutors, and others in the field.
Prizes/Scholarships:
Provost’s Prize – Every year the criminal justice faculty select one outstanding senior to receive the “Provost’s Prize” at graduation, which comes with recognition and a cash award. While a student’s GPA in the major is the primary consideration, faculty also take into account service to the community, the school, and the major, as well as the difficulty of a student’s course load, and post-graduation plans for entering the field.
In addition, Elmira College has an articulation agreement with Keiser University in which matriculating students enrolled in this course may earn graduate school credit from Keiser University. If a student obtains a criminal justice degree AND a cumulative grade point average of 3.00/4.00 or better, Keiser University will waive their application fee and automatically admit the EC student into their online Master of Arts in Criminal Justice OR its online Master of Arts in Homeland Security Programs – at the student’s choice. Students are encouraged to speak with the course professor or their advisor about which program they would like to enter. Students obtaining a B- or better in CRJ 4590: “Senior Seminar” and who matriculate will have the pre-requisite course in both programs, “MACJ 501: Seminar in Criminal Justice” and waived.
