With a Criminal Justice Degree from Bridgewater State University
From examining crimes and cases to helping keep communities safe, Bridgewater State University’s Department of Criminal Justice prepares you to make an impact on people’s everyday lives.
BSU’s criminal justice programs examine criminal behavior through a social justice lens in order to understand the cultural, legal and social contexts that play a role in criminology. We also offer a master’s in criminal justice with four concentrations, as well as two graduate certificate programs.
BSU’s in-person and online criminal justice degree coursework helps you to think about criminal justice in a broad framework. Because the U.S. criminal justice system involves law enforcement, the courts and corrections, Bridgewater’s criminal justice programs take an interdisciplinary approach with your coursework.
