The Department provides students with a liberal arts and social science education and a balanced perspective on the study and practices of the Criminal Justice and Homeland Security disciplines. Students benefit from experienced faculty who have worked as researchers, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, court officials, and military officers who leverage their professional skill sets as impassioned teachers and mentors. Consistent with the University-wide commitment to experiential education, all Criminal Justice and Homeland Security majors complete an internship to provide the skills and experience necessary for employment.<br><br>The Department currently offers a B.A. and M.A. in Criminal Justice and a B.S. in Homeland Security. Students also have the opportunity to earn both a B.A. and M.A. or B.S. and M.A. with our accelerated five-year programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-in-page-link\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-criminal-justice\/programs-of-study\/\">View All Programs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<nav  aria-labelledby=\"h69e44a28298fc\"  class=\"wp-block-group related is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h2 id=\"h69e44a28298fc\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center component-title\" id=\"resources\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n<div  role=\"list\" class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div  role=\"listitem\" class=\"wp-block-button is-style-default\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/department-of-criminal-justice\/newsletter\/\">Department Newsletter<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  role=\"listitem\" class=\"wp-block-button is-style-default\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/webadvisor.monmouth.edu\/WebAdvisor\/WebAdvisor?&amp;TYPE=M&amp;PID=CORE-WBMAIN&amp;TOKENIDX=7738577953\">Go to WebAdvisor<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  role=\"listitem\" class=\"wp-block-button is-style-default\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecampus.monmouth.edu\/login.php\">eCampus<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  role=\"listitem\" class=\"wp-block-button is-style-default\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/admission\/undergraduate\/\">Undergraduate Admission<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  role=\"listitem\" class=\"wp-block-button is-style-default\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/graduate\/\">Graduate Admission<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-mu-contact has-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"imageWrapper\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"560\" height=\"560\" style=\"object-position: 47.725% 36.24%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/476\/2013\/05\/Nicholas-Sewitch-Profile.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"Photo of Nicholas F.
