Who are we?
Mission: Our mission is to provide an integration of substantive and practical education in courses of study designed to prepare students for a variety of career choices in law, public service, social systems and private enterprise.
The administration of justice and law is as pervasive as the law itself. Hence, we in the Division of Justice and Law Administration (JLA) seek to provide an integration of substantive and practical education in courses of study designed to prepare students for a variety of career choices in law, public service, social systems and private enterprise. JLA has as its primary purposes:
- to enhance the students’ abilities to reason, to communicate in written and verbal form, and to engage in relevant scholarship;
- to fulfill students’ career goals in the areas of the administration of justice, the regulatory, protective or rehabilitative services, or the law-related professions; and
- to assist students in pursuing undergraduate and graduate level education in law, criminology, public administration, rehabilitation services, criminal justice and associated areas.
JLA offers a Bachelor of Science degree (BS) and a Master of Science in Justice Administration (MSJA).
