Student Testimonials Student Engagement is a priority!
Roberto Gutierrez, Class of 2019, Masters of Criminal Justice
“The best part of CJ online program is the flexibility provided together with the faculty’s commitment to the students. Students are provided with the flexibility to work around their own personal and/or work schedule and consequently are able to enhance time-management skills to complete their coursework at their own pace. Having this flexibility also leads for students to become self-motivated, self-discipline, and responsible. All this, along with the faculty’s commitment to the students by providing feedback, support, and advice develop an encouraging environment. The CJ Department Faculty is fantastic.” Claudia Gamboa, Class of 2018, Criminal Justice Major |
The Criminal Justice Mentoring Center has been designed as an office where students can meet with criminal justice personnel and prospective employers for career advice. The office will be staffed with practitioners from criminal justice agencies (local, state, and Federal) from around the country. Students can meet with agency personnel for mentoring and advice on internships, employment, and careers. This is a service for students, and the department encourages participation in this resource. These agencies will only send representatives if they know students will take advantage of this opportunity. We advise students to please stop in on a regular basis to gain insights into careers in the criminal justice field.
The Criminal Justice Department Mentoring Center is located in Breland Hall 127.
