Welcome to Fairleigh Dickinson University's School of Criminal Justice Web Page. This site is designed to provide you with a comprehensive, yet straightforward overview of the criminal justice program, its curriculum, and its diverse faculty.

As the following pages will reveal, our program comprises a dynamic and challenging curriculum that skillfully integrates theory and application into a holistic and interdisciplinary course of study that prepares its graduates for wide-ranging opportunities within America's criminal justice system. Given the challenges and demands of a rapidly changing society, our curriculum is by design - holistic, engaging, and highly interactive - one that integrates and develops independent and collaborative research skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Recognizing that a college education extends far beyond the classroom, the University and the School of Criminal Justice offers a diverse range of student services and activities. These include personalized academic and career counseling, test and resume preparation, on campus recruitment, a Distinguished Guest Lecture Series, web-based and distance learning opportunities, field experiences, extended internships, a global-study abroad program, a student based Criminal Justice Club, and a host of other activities that support and prepare our graduates for a rewarding career in the field of criminal justice and professional private security.

If after reviewing our program you are interested in further information about the curriculum, its academic standards, or admission requirements, I encourage you to call, write, or schedule an appointment for a meeting.
