RESPECTED INDUSTRY LEADERS WITH A PASSION FOR TEACHING.

Would you rather learn from someone who is an expert teacher? Or someone who is an expert at what they teach? If you are unsure of the difference, prepare yourself for a learning experience unlike anything you can imagine. The UC faculty isn’t teaching about the criminal justice industry. They are shaping it one student at a time. These are the people creating theories, pushing new policies, and changing perspectives. Need proof? The UC faculty is ranked #1 nationally by The Journal of Criminal Justice for having the most published articles. If you are ready to become a leader and change the criminal justice industry, you have found the right place.
