Mount St. Mary’s criminal justice program provides a rigorous and liberal arts education to those seeking a professional career in the criminal justice field, including law enforcement, probation and parole, corrections and other relevant fields.
A key feature of the criminal justice program is its emphasis on the connections between theory and practice. There are three guiding principles: (1) there can be no criminal justice without a commitment to the principles and practices of social justice, (2) technical proficiency is crucial to a well-run system of justice, and (3) a liberal education leads to both a greater level of professionalism as well as to a full and meaningful personal life. As such, this program aims to educate the whole person.
