With a 95 percent placement rate, the Criminal Justice major at Siena Heights is booming. The events of Sept. 11, 2001, have yielded many changes in our way of life. As a result, more and more jobs in the criminal justice field are being created. As our nation buckles down to fight terrorism and keep Americans safe, more law enforcement officers are needed and new jobs are developing.

“Employment opportunities are tremendous at the state and local level because there is a shortage of police officers,” said Danielle Teunion-Smith, coordinator of the Criminal Justice program. “This is the time for someone to get a criminal justice degree and find employment.”

Siena’s program boasts two strengths — faculty members with practical experience and internships.

“All our faculty have practiced or are currently practicing in the criminal justice field,” Teunion-Smith said. “Many larger universities lack instructors with this background. And, our internships have always been a strength. We were doing internships when other places were not — we’ve done it for 25 years. We’re a leader.”

Welcome to the Department of Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement at Coppin State University, a Historically Black College University in the University of Maryland System. Viewed as one of the fastest growing programs of the University, the Department offers both the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Criminal Justice.

The Department is very student-centered operating, with an orientation strongly geared toward developing students to their fullest potential. We have a long tradition of quality teaching and are proud of the fact that faculty have expertise including terrorism, policing, law, corrections, juvenile delinquency, and crime prevention. In addition to teaching a variety of undergraduate courses, faculty members are involved in research and publishing books and articles widely referenced by students, criminal justice professionals, and those involved in policy-making.

The graduate program in criminal justice was launched in September 2002 and offers a curriculum in the administration of criminal justice, leading to the Master of Arts. The program is designed for those seeking career opportunities or advancement in justice-related fields in addition to those who seek preparation for doctoral study. Students take courses in public management and budgeting and acquire a broad understanding of the criminal justice system, including contemporary issues affecting it and the analytic skills required to conduct and apply research and to assess public policy. The nationally-recognized faculty is multidisciplinary. The public administration faculty offers courses that equip students with the skills to oversee complex public agencies. The criminal justice faculty emphasizes social science theories and methods to impart a comprehensive understanding of crime and the justice system. Faculty members in the School of Law, social work, history and liberal studies provide a wide array of electives. Evening classes meet the needs of students who work or have other obligations during the day.
