Offering majors in criminal justice and paralegal studies, the Department
of Legal Studies provides students with a critical understanding of the total
system of justice and the society in which it functions. At the same time,
as part of the School of Applied Sciences, the faculty members are committed
to preparing students to move successfully into legal studies careers or
graduate work as educated and intellectually mature men and women.
An extensive internship program enables students to link classroom
learning with practical experience in such key areas as corrections, court
and law, law enforcement, private security, probation and parole, research
and victim advocacy.
