Career and Academic Opportunities

The Double Owl Pathway in Criminal Justice is an ideal program for students desiring to expand their career and academic opportunities in the field. The Pathway provides a focused and interactive educational experience designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills in criminal justice administration, management, as well as global criminal justice. The Pathway is designed so that students can complete both the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Criminal Justice in either 5 or 5陆 years. Students who have completed the Master of Science in Criminal Justice have gone onto careers in court management/administration; state and federal criminal investigation; private consulting; police cybercrime; and data/research analysis. In addition to having obtained managerial, director and/or senior-level positions in these career areas, our graduates have been accepted into PhD programs at larger, research-intensive universities.
