Bachelor of Arts - Criminal Justice - White-Collar Crime & Fraud Investigation

Program Description

White-collar crimes are financially motivated crimes that occur within businesses or governments. These nonviolent crimes can cause just as much damage and devastation as violent crimes. In many instances, a single occurrence can financially ruin companies and create devastation for their employees and families affected by it. The University of Findlay offers courses that will introduce students to criminal conduct described as violations of trust both domestically and around the world. Findlay's courses are designed to prepare students for successful careers in many areas of criminal justice such as law enforcement, courts, corrections, risk assessment or juvenile justice. 

Criminal justice majors benefit from an interdisciplinary curriculum that blends both academics and experience to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Students will be able to write and speak effectively, apply analytical strategies toward solving complex problems, work well with individuals of diverse backgrounds and exhibit the skills necessary to lead and manage people. Throughout the entire program, expert faculty with field experience in areas such as fraud, crime scene investigation, corrections, loss prevention and juvenile justice will serve as students' professors and advisors. Findlay's dedicated faculty members focus on meeting students' personal needs and career aspirations beyond obtaining their criminal justice degree.
