“... and justice for all.”
-- U.S. Pledge of Allegiance
You began your grade school education with this simple daily pledge; today you have a belief in justice, a desire to serve and reverence for the truth. Point Park’s Department of Criminal Justice and Intelligence Studies has programs for careers in law enforcement, the legal system, intelligence, investigation and national security.
Criminal Justice
You’ll learn how justice is delivered and assured for all from arrest through due process, incarceration and release. In our criminal justice programs, you will study history, political science, sociology, behavioral science, public administration, law and natural sciences to gain a true understanding of the criminal justice system and the political and social environment in which it operates.
Forensic Science
The truth will set you free … but scientific evidence is crucial. Arson or misfortune? Murder or accident? Innocent or guilty? In forensic science you will use chemistry, biology, math and analytical skills to unlock the truth from the physical evidence.
Law Enforcement
Freedom and rights can only exist where the rule of law is enforced. Point Park University is proud to prepare students to be local, national, and international law enforcement officers. Point Park has relationships with police departments across the nation and has former students serving in communities as far away as Utah -- as well as right here in the city of Pittsburgh. Our law enforcement program is designed with a purpose —to gain you entry to the profession, broaden your expertise, or advance your career.
Intelligence and National Security
Confronting global terrorism and protecting our homeland is an honorable mission, and an admirable profession. Point Park’s intelligence and national security program is multi-tiered and includes certificate and bachelor's degree programs. It’s the training you need to enter, or advance, your career protecting U.S. citizens and our way of life.
