Advisory Board

The School of Justice Studies is designed to give you the highest quality education and to do this we have Advisory Boards in place to meet and keep up with industry standards. The Advisory Boards oversee student curriculum, evaluate program requirements on a yearly basis, make suggestions to enhance courses, and talk about current and future trends in the justice field, so that our graduates are more than ready when they begin their career.
