At the undergraduate level, the UCCS School of Public Affairs offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice (BACJ). The BACJ degree is an interdisciplinary degree program built on a model proposed by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS), the organization that sets standards for criminal justice degrees. Graduates of the BACJ will earn a highly marketable degree, in an area that the State of Colorado considers one of critical future need. Potential employers include law enforcement agencies within state, local and federal government, the courts, probation departments, and the military.
