TRINITY CHRISTIAN COLLEGE


BACHELOR OF ARTS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The world needs those in the criminal justice system who are compassionate professionals that apply justice to those accused of breaking laws. And at Trinity, you will also learn about restoration for those who commit crimes, and even greater restitution for crime victims and society in general.
We honor the biblical and social bases of the law enforcement and justice systems. Our faculty also focus on how the criminal justice system is an integral part of other social institutions.
