Program Overview

Criminal Justice is a challenging, exciting, rewarding career—it requires fast thinking and often independent problem solving from one situation to another. The critical and creative thinking of Criminal Justice personnel is constantly being put to the test: from the police officer improvising to de-escalate a confrontation to the public defender who has to develop the best argument to defend their client or the rehabilitation worker who must motivate youth away from substance use/abuse. The 4-year Criminal Justice major will prepare you for the profession or help you advance if you're already in it.

The greatest strength of the criminal justice program at Mercy University is the academic and professional diversity of the faculty, which includes attorneys, law enforcement officers, and other professionals who have had hands-on experience in the criminal justice system in the metropolitan area.

Graduates have found employment in agencies and organizations such as:

  • Police departments
  • Corrections departments
  • Social service agencies
  • Victim's assistance agencies
  • Youth counseling agencies
  • Private security and insurance companies

Many students also continue on to law school or graduate study in Criminal Justice and related fields.
