B.A. IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Engage in Justice upon a Biblical Foundation
Overview
The criminal justice program will prepare students to fill redemptive roles in our larger society. We have designed courses, an internship, student work, and instructor interaction to help students promote biblical justice and the love of Christ in service to people in public spaces.
Students will take classes in areas of Criminal Justice, which focus on law enforcement and corrections, and of legal studies, which focus on legal reasoning and provides exposure for those interested in the legal profession. Through academic rigor and hands on training, Christian professionals in our criminal justice program teach students how to live out the Gospel in society, excel in their chosen fields, and strengthen their faith for the work to which God calls them.
The Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice utilizes courses on campus and online through MBC as well as online major courses in partnership with Columbia Southern University. Approximately 24% of the coursework for this degree is online.
