Our mission is to provide students with a high-quality liberal arts education in the interdisciplinary field of criminal justice. Maintain a network of local, state, federal, and academic institutions through outreach and research. Criminal Justice majors are prepared to engage in civic endeavors and to assume field positions in criminal justice and social service agencies or enter graduate programs.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding_tablet=”200px||200px|” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/wou.edu\/criminal-justice\/files\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1550288717-1-scaled.jpg” custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” padding_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||28px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ width=”93%” max_width=”1777px” custom_padding=”||19px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ border_width_top=”5px” border_color_top=”#239093″ border_width_right=”1px” border_color_right=”#c4c6c8″ border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”#c4c6c8″ border_width_left=”1px” border_color_left=”#c4c6c8″ global_colors_info=”{}” border_width_left__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” border_width_left__hover=”1px”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Job Titles” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||-1px|||” custom_padding=”5%|5%|5%|5%|true|true” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_duration=”750ms” animation_intensity_slide=”10%” border_color_top=”#239093″ border_color_right=”#c4c6c8″ border_color_bottom=”#c4c6c8″ border_color_left=”#c4c6c8″ inline_fonts=”Arial” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Criminal Justice is the study the multitude of issues, theories, policies, practices and current challenges related to the ethical administration of justice in a free society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n What is a Bachelor of Applied Science degree?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n B.A.S degrees serve the needs of individuals with a terminal or non-transfer associate\u2019s degree who wish to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree to advance in their careers, change careers or who may seek to pursue graduate education. The B.A.S. degree is not open to traditional students currently enrolled at WOU (e.g., students who started college at WOU or came to WOU with a transfer degree such as the AAOT). B.A.S. students must meet the following criteria: have completed an A.A.S. degree (or other terminal\/non-transfer associate degree) or have completed a minimum of 60 quarter credits toward an A.A.S.
