CRIMINAL JUSTICE MAJOR AND MINOR

Protect and serve for the glory of God

Upholding the law in communities through a Christ-centered lens is a growing need. With a degree in criminal justice from Huntington University, you will be prepared for a career in corrections, juvenile justice, law, criminology, addictions, and public policy—all areas of life that desperately need the hope of Jesus. 

The criminal justice field provides a unique opportunity to show love to people who have violated the law or who are victims of law violations. The knowledge you gain from HU’s criminal justice program will equip you to share Christ’s redemptive love in this field while you protect and serve the community.
