CCJ challenges, motivates, and inspires students to think critically, contribute professionally, and be engaged civically. CCJ supports students interests, recognizes obstacles students encounter in their education, and assists students to overcome these where appropriate (through advising, referrals, etc). CCJ encourages and supports participation in campus-wide programs that will benefit students individually and collectively (such as the general education curriculum, accelerated degree programs, Success at Â鶹´«Ã½, honors programs, and Lock-in).

CCJ remains an integral part of the collegial body of the University and continues to offer a regionally-and state-recognized program. CCJ is expanding distance education opportunities, and aspires to national recognition. CCJ is able to foster a healthy learning environment by bringing a more sensitive balance to class size, structure, and innovative methods of teaching. The Department&#8217;s curriculum supports a single major with the opportunity for students to emphasize law enforcement, corrections, law, or forensics in an interdisciplinary context. Faculty emphasis on student success is strong through active support for <a href=\"https:\/\/alphaphisigma.org\/\" target=\"_balnk\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpha Phi Sigma<\/a>, the Criminology &amp; Criminal Justice club, Honors, Accelerated Baccalaureate, and other University programs.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships with criminal justice agencies will continue to prosper and consultation efforts will flourish. Articulation agreements with community colleges (especially Rogue Community College) offer a clear and rewarding path that enables more students to complete the four-year experience at the University. As CCJ continues to grow, relationships between faculty and students will remain strong, endorsing the small University experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:28px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:28px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-3gj81s4-e5545591ab64139de5627a029b392945 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Values<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2xnb0xw-99dca26d582cb05a27258f0d4d99a8f7 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The Criminology and Criminal Justice Department values student success, excellence in faculty performance, and highest ethical standards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0{\npadding-bottom:0;\nfont-size:28px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:28px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-2e0rxd0-42a2c4ec5b79c35e8b9f839fed7481a0 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  av-inherit-size'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Objectives<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-27tg8ck-820f715e99b7219a350bf8cce13aae43 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The Department of Criminology &amp; Criminal Justice has four major objectives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prepare students for successful service in the criminal justice system at local, state, and federal levels<\/li>\n<li>Provide general education experiences for all students with an interest in the criminal justice system<\/li>\n<li>Provide service to organizations and agencies in the criminal justice system<\/li>\n<li>Contribute to the field through academic and applied research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1sz3ox0-b4de6bf203fa3516f87817c58faa79ee\">\n.flex_column.av-1sz3ox0-b4de6bf203fa3516f87817c58faa79ee{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1sz3ox0-b4de6bf203fa3516f87817c58faa79ee av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-88aa1dce24bde71ba541926fa983a5ee\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-88aa1dce24bde71ba541926fa983a5ee{\nbackground-color:#f3f3f3;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_3' aria-label='Â鶹´«Ã½ Business Home Page -
