In the Crime Scene Investigation program, students learn the essential skills required to investigate crime scenes, collect and analyze evidence, and aid in solving criminal cases. The curriculum covers forensic science, evidence preservation, and the use of advanced technologies in criminal investigations. Graduates are equipped to work in law enforcement agencies, forensic labs, and as crime scene investigators.

Foundations Of Criminal Law And Justice Systems:

The College of Criminal Justice begins with a comprehensive exploration of criminal law and justice systems. Students acquire a deep understanding of legal principles, criminology, and law enforcement practices. This foundational knowledge equips them with the skills necessary to navigate the complex world of criminal justice.


Practical Experience And Community Engagement:

Beyond the classroom, our College of Criminal Justice places a strong emphasis on practical experience and community engagement. Students have opportunities to intern with law enforcement agencies, participate in mock trials, and engage with local communities. These experiences not only enhance their practical skills but also provide valuable insights into the criminal justice field.


Global Criminal Justice Issues And Cross-Border Collaborations:

The College of Criminal Justice at Southeastern Michigan University is committed to addressing global criminal justice issues and fostering cross-border collaborations. Our curriculum explores international perspectives on crime and justice and encourages students to engage in collaborative research and initiatives with organizations worldwide. This global perspective equips students to tackle complex challenges in the realm of criminal justice.

There are two actors within a criminal act - the perpetrator and the victim - and the victim is often forgotten. This course takes a critical view of the victim's relationship with the perpetrator and the criminal justice system, and the media's and society's varied reactions to victims.
