The Campbell Program
The administration of justice is an endemic and critical issue that
confronts any free society. There are continual demands for more
and better-trained law enforcement officers, court administrators,
and correctional personnel.
Our curriculum is designed to provide you with the knowledge you
need to understand the institutions of the criminal justice process
— police, courts, corrections — and the administration of justice.
You will acquire an understanding of the various components of
the formal criminal justice process, endemic and emerging issues in
criminal justice, and many of the incongruities in the justice system.
Additionally, you will be taught how to critically assess some of
the major controversial issues in policing, courts, corrections, and
administration.
You will study criminology, victimology, political policy analysis,
research methods, and other sociological tools used to measure and
understand the etiology of crime, societies’ response to crime, and
policy issues in the administration of justice. This curriculum will lead
you to reevaluate your views of justice, the criminal justice system,
and society in general. Noted criminologist James Q. Wilson believes
that “It may turn out that a free society cannot really prevent crime.
Perhaps its causes are locked so deeply into the human personality,
the intimate processes of family life, and the subtlest aspects of
popular culture that coping is the best that we can hope for.” Perhaps
so, but our goal is to equip and prepare students so that they are on
the cutting edge of the developments and have the best chance of
“coping” with those challenges.
The Criminal Justice division also allows students to concentrate in
Homeland Security, a program not found at many other universities.
The courses making up the concentration will relate to the Critical
Mission Areas identified in the National Strategy for Homeland
Security.

and a required internship. A typical major class will have just 20
students; some have as little as 10, so there is an emphasis on careful
discussion, analysis, and interaction.
the campbell faculty
What sets Campbell’s faculty apart from the others? Our faculty
members comprise a wide range of expertise, teaching experience,
and interests. Having earned multiple academic degrees, they have
been well-schooled in the discipline. Additionally, they possess
personal experience honed on the front lines — on the street, in
the courtrooms, prisons, or juvenile centers. Plus the faculty is very
involved in both regional and national groups related to this major.
We also charge ourselves with the responsibility of performing
rigorous and thorough advisement of each student to ensure they get
the courses and support needed to succeed.
Finally, the department sponsors a variety of different clubs,
organizations, and/or honor societies to facilitate bringing our majors
together professionally and socially.
The Campbell student
We attract students who are analytical, motivated, and interested in
pursuing careers in law enforcement, government, or private sector
endeavors. Our criminal justice majors typically work for government
agencies, private security firms, the North Carolina SBI, State Police,
local police departments, and the Department of Corrections.
The Criminal Justice Administration program concentrates on the
goal of developing competent professionals who can respond to
the challenge of crime appropriately and ethically in any level of
government.
Homeland Security students will understand the processes of the
criminal justice system, learn vocabulary associated with homeland
security, become familiar with domestic and international terrorist
organizations, recognize strategies for disaster prevention, and examine
areas of the world in which international terrorist organizations are
formed.
The Campbell approach
At Campbell, we balance course instruction between theory and
practice. We use a variety of approaches to give you the theoretical and
practical framework you need including labs, field trips, symposiums,
