    BCJ - Corrections

    As a graduate with a major in Corrections, you will be the backbone of the American Justice System. The Bachelor of Criminal Justice (BCJ) degree with an emphasis in Corrections program is designed for students who are interested in understanding and working with criminal offenders. Through this major, students will be equipped to handle the dynamic nature of the largest facet of the criminal justice system. The program focuses on the relationship of the field of Corrections to the broader criminal justice system, as well as the evaluation and treatment of offenders in community supervision, custodial, and community-based facilities.

    The major is structured to give students sufficient background in legal issues, management, history, social work, and counseling that effectively augment the knowledge and skills developed in the criminal justice core curriculum. A strong emphasis is placed on providing the latest perspectives on offender reentry, population management strategies, offender motivation, theory, and policy that will provide students with the requisite educational foundation to effect positive outcomes in offender management.
