Demand for graduates with a criminology degree is high – and that demand is even higher for grads with applied skills in areas such as crime prevention, risk assessment, demographic research, crisis intervention and conflict de-escalation.

Students will graduate with 100 hours of work experience in the criminal justice field – giving them a leg up over the competition for jobs.
