Description

Based on Ivy Tech's faculty credentialing standards, faculty members should possess a Master's degree in criminal justice, criminology, or a closely related field. In cases where faculty hold a bachelor’s degree, they must also have substantial professional experience in the criminal justice field, which includes areas such as law enforcement, corrections, or legal services. This ensures that faculty have both the academic foundation and real-world expertise necessary to effectively teach the curriculum. Additionally, faculty are expected to engage in ongoing professional development to stay current with evolving practices and trends within the criminal justice system.

 

Make a tangible impact on your community by studying and working in criminal justice. In the Ivy Tech Criminal Justice program, students can focus on the area of study that most aligns with their goals: 

  • Law enforcement

  • Court services

Ivy Tech does not have a deadline for admission. Our 8-week class sessions start throughout the year—in January, March, June, August, and October—and there is no hard deadline for applying for any of the start dates. It's important, though, to apply early enough that you'll be able to complete all the degree planning, financial aid, and registration activities that need to happen before your first day. We recommend you apply about one month before you intend to start classes. See upcoming start dates >>
