Overview

Throughout the Criminal Justice (Public Administration) BSc programme from the Liberty University the professors provide you with a practical understanding of public administration, criminal justice, and legal processes.

If you would like to enter the exciting world of criminal justice but you feel your skills and passions aren’t in the enforcement area of law, then perhaps you should consider public administration.

Without the effective management of vital resources, law enforcement’s men and women will not be able to fight crime successfully. Law enforcement needs managers who can handle resources and people on the local, state, or federal agency level.
