There's a lot more to a criminal justice career than what you see on Law & Order. Criminal justice majors at Oakland University get a big-picture education that covers the full spectrum of criminal justice careers. Youll learn about policing, homeland security, cybersecurity, corrections, data analysis, and other branches of criminal justice. Our criminal justice degree also addresses social factors that influence crime and law enforcement, including race, ethnicity, and religion. Agencies actively recruit our criminal justice majors for internships because our students are mature and well-prepared. With optional concentrations in homeland security and IT security, Oakland University's criminal justice degree provides you with an excellent foundation for a successful criminal justice career. Our reputation as one of the region's best colleges for criminal justice rests on several factors. First, our criminal justice degree's cyber security component is so strong that the U.S. defense department designated us a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education. More broadly, we have a holistic perspective that equips criminal justice majors to think at a systemic level, with the ability to address crime's underlying causes and long-range effects.
