Welcome
Criminal Justice is a decision making process that incorporates the management and control of crime and criminal offenders. The objective of the criminal justice program at St. Cloud State University is to prepare and educate tomorrow's leaders in such fields as domestic and international law enforcement, courts, corrections, juvenile justice, and private security.
Why is the Criminal Justice Program at SCSU so unique?
Many criminal justice courses at St. Cloud State offer small classes, individual attention and close student-faculty interaction. It was the first department at SCSU to require a Senior Thesis project and an oral defense of the project.
The department also offers its own advising center, which is staffed by graduate assistants. The department courses have many writing requirements designed to improve each student's self-presentation skills. The program is located in Minnesota, which is nationally famous for its quality innovations in its criminal justice system. Consequently, many of the students tap into the system for "real life" experiences prior to graduation.
Additionally, its faculty are committed to quality teaching, research and on student development. The department offers a very active criminal justice student association for those interested in enhancing their education.
Location
The city of St. Cloud is located 65 miles northwest of downtown Minneapolis. Although the population of the St. Cloud area is approximately 70,000, the city continues to have a small town atmosphere. The campus is located within walking distance of downtown St. Cloud, and lies along the West bank of the scenic Mississippi River close to several parks and attractive residential areas.
