Unlike many criminal justice programs, at SUU you won?t spend weeks reading about theories of criminal justice, you?ll gain the kind of practical experience you can actually apply in whatever branch of criminal justice you decide to enter. On the SUU campus in Cedar City, Utah, there is a fully-functional mock courtroom, crime lab, mock crime scenes, and iPads with the actual software police officers use in their investigations of real crimes.

The Criminal Justice program provides students with extensive knowledge of the U.S. Criminal Justice System, comprised of law enforcement, courts, and corrections. Students will develop the capacity to apply law, social sciences, and sound practices as criminal justice professionals in the public and private sectors. The program also provides students a foundation upon which to pursue advanced education in the criminal justice field.
