Overview

This Criminal Justice (Online) program at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University trains and prepares the next generation of criminal justice professionals for a diverse and interdisciplinary workforce, providing students with knowledge of criminal justice processes, security, law enforcement, and the nature and causes of crime.

Graduates will be ready to meet emerging and enduring challenges confronting criminal justice, particularly in the areas of forensic science/crime scene investigation, criminal investigation, data analytics and cybersecurity (through collaborative programs with the College of Engineering and CREO, the Center of Excellence in Cybersecurity, Research, Education, and Outreach). Project-based learning modules provide opportunities for students to gain valuable job skills while attending virtual forensic and computer labs.

Key Features

Criminal justice is generally considered the job of federal, state and local governments, because they hold the power to arrest, convict, jail and fine people. These authorities employ an array of investigators, technicians and staff to bring criminals to justice. Many private-sector workers are also employed in occupations directly related to fighting crime, such as security guards, private detectives and criminal justice teachers. Now, with the increasing threat of cybercrime, there is a growing need for professionals who can protect our nation’s critical infrastructure and thwart both traditional and computer-related crimes.

Cybercrime fighters and digital forensics investigators work to protect governments, companies and individuals from hacking, identity theft, digital terrorism, fraud, malware and other modern threats. Bringing perpetrators to justice often requires cutting-edge digital and technological methods of investigation.
