Our program is geared toward students interested in assuming managerial responsibilities in the criminal justice system and other human service-related fields. The curriculum provides for the development of skills in personnel management, program planning and implementation. The trend locally and nationally is to place individuals with demonstrated potential and the required education in positions of responsibility within criminal justice service. Criminal Justice Administration graduates are well prepared for jobs with the Shreveport-Bossier Police Departments as well and the local sheriff departments. Internship One unique aspect of our program is an internship.
Students select a specific agency to work in while receiving college credit.
The internship is an educational experience in which students relate what they have learned in the classroom with what occurs within the criminal justice system. This internship is an invaluable experience and students have often used it to develop contacts for future employment. Faculty Criminal Justice Administration majors benefit from close interaction with professors who have all had professional experience in some aspect of the criminal justice system. Our faculty is professionally diverse and includes, attorneys, judges, police, public administrators, and social scientists all working in the Shreveport-Bossier Community.
