Students majoring in criminal justice enjoy considerable flexibility in pursuing courses of study—choosing those that reflect their individual interests and career aspirations.

Students considering attending law school can work toward bachelor of arts degrees in criminal justice with a prelaw emphasis.

In addition to classroom experiences, the criminal justice program offers an internship elective with placements available in a variety of Wyoming criminal justice agencies.

Students interested in various fields benefit from a criminal justice degree. Some of those fields include federal, state, and local law enforcement; correctional officer positions; court administration; probation and parole careers; private security jobs; military careers; and law school or graduate school among others.
