 “The Criminal Justice program at the University of
Sioux Falls does an excellent job of giving its students hands on
experiences in the criminal justice field as well as an opportunity
to network with those currently in the field through service
learning experiences, internships, national conferences and field
observations. The professors also do an excellent job of allowing
each individual student to focus their attention on the specific
area of interest in the criminal justice field in which they wish to
make their career as well as educating them on other areas of the
field in the process.“

 “The Criminal Justice program
here is an excellent way to obtain a well-rounded knowledge of the
unique criminal justice system that exists in our country. I find
the program’s major strength is that it stresses the importance of
the Constitution, contextualizes our place in history as Americans,
and develops the ever-so-necessary critical thinking skills that
generally lack among the common populace. The connections that
Professor O’Toole can plug you into will definitely highlight your
experiences with field observations, internships and the like. I
truly believe that, in combining this program with any other social
science major at this institution, (which is also convenient) you
can become an objectively educated force to be reckoned with among
future employers in the field.”

 “As a senior criminal justice major, I can sincerely
say I feel extremely prepared for the future profession ahead of
me. I thank God that He has placed me into a program that offers
such thorough and challenging classes taught by such dedicated and
passionate professors. The Criminal Justice professors, of whom many have also
become my friends, have not only taught me facts and figures, but
have taught me to think critically, to recognize where improvements
need to be made and instigate change, and to never stop learning. I
am now working as a senior intern for the South Dakota State
Penitentiary and loving every minute of it--an opportunity I feel I
received in large due to the outstanding reputation of this
department and those inside of it.”

 “Criminal Justice
at USF is so much more than just a major. The Criminal Justice
program has allowed me to participate in juvenile-based mentoring;
attend, as well as present at, national criminal justice
conferences, and also actively participate in the Law and Justice
Club on campus. The professors earn the respect of the students and
drive them to succeed. The Criminal Justice faculty really cares
about the future of their students. I truly value my four years in
the program.”
