The purpose of the Criminal Justice Program is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the social organization and administration of the criminal justice system. Courses are offered in theories of crime and delinquency, law enforcement, the courts, corrections, and administration. Students in the Criminal Justice Program will have opportunities to participate in internships to further develop the skills necessary for meeting their career, research, and/or community goals.

The Criminal Justice major is fully articulated with many North Carolina community college criminal justice associate’s degree programs and accepts equivalent transfer credits under negotiated articulation agreements for transfer students entering UNCP within five years of earning an associate’s degree. Transfer students must earn at least 19 hours in UNCP criminal justice courses to earn the Criminal Justice degree from UNCP.
