Administration of Criminal Justice Program

The Administration of Criminal Justice Program is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide an education in the social science of criminal justice within the context of a broad-based liberal arts education. The mission of the Administration of Criminal Justice program at Bradley University is to provide our students with a thorough understanding of the institutions, structures and processes through which society defines, perceives and responds to deviance. This mission is accomplished via a unique collarboration between the departments of History, Sociology, and Political Science. The Program is managed by a coordinating committee made up of two members each from these three departments. The curriculum is drawn from courses from the three departments, along with four core courses in the Administration of Criminal Justice. These four core courses are taught in collaboration with Illinois Central College.

The Director and the Members of the Coordinating Coommittee invite you to visit the campus to learn more about our program.
