Our nation faces enormous challenges in the increasingly complex and turbulent areas included in our system of criminal justice. As a nation, the United States has witnessed the collapse of our financial markets, continuing controversy over illegal immigration and border security, a resurgence of racial tensions, the continued scourge of illegal drugs on our society, and an increased understanding of the horrors of human trafficking. As a nation, we have accepted the “new norms” associated with the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks including increased search and surveillance capabilities of law enforcement, and we have witnessed what some refer to as the “militarization” of law enforcement in the United States. The CCGA Criminal Justice major, housed in the School of Business and Public Management, is focused on the knowledge that each of these areas and many others are important to the education of today’s criminal justice students. We are preparing our criminal justice students to be tomorrow’s capable and prepared law enforcement professionals as well as thought-leaders who will help shape public policy in municipalities and states, as well as domestically and internationally, for many years to come. We encourage you to pursue the baccalaureate degree in Criminal Justice while pursuing a concentration in one of four distinct areas: Public Management, Homeland Security, Data and Information Analysis, or Cyber Defense at the College of Coastal Georgia. The strong combination of criminal justice with any of these concentrations will provide a thorough preparation for students as they pursue a career in the broad field of criminal justice. In addition to the strength and relevance of our criminal justice courses, our criminal justice students benefit from our close partnership with the nearby Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC). Our criminal justice courses are taught by some of the finest law enforcement instructors in the nation. Additionally, CCGA’s criminal justice degree, provides students with key management competencies and critical thinking skills, further enhancing our program's focus on preparing our students for their futures in the field of criminal justice.
