Why Study Criminal Justice A Strong Academic Program... Far from being a narrowly-defined law enforcement or correctional
program, criminal justice at Radford University is an interdisciplinary
and professionally-oriented academic discipline focusing on many aspects
of crime and issues that impact our system of justice. To prepare
students for the various positions within criminal justice as well as
for graduate education, the program seeks to provide a broad foundation
of knowledge pertaining to crime and related issues. An Accomplished Faculty... The department is staffed by eleven full-time faculty members who are accomplished in both their academic and professional communities. Radford University Criminal Justice faculty publish books and articles, make presentations at national conferences, provide expert testimony, and work with the local criminal justice community. In addition, the department regularly employs local criminal justice professionals as adjunct instructors. You can learn more about our faculty by following the link to the left. Many Opportunities... The Department of Criminal Justice makes numerous opportunities available to students. Students may participate in a variety of student organizations, complete an internship program, and participate in other activities sponsored by the department. In addition, outstanding on-campus undergraduate students may apply to participate in the "accelerated" master's degree program, in which both the bachelor's and master's degrees may be earned in five years. You can learn more by following the links to the left. A Rich History... The Radford University Criminal Justice program was established in 1974.
