Franciscan University of Steubenville represents the true nature of a Catholic University- academically challenging and passionately Catholic.  The Criminal Justice program reflects the mission of the University with its stress on the moral and the ethical in its examination of all facets of the justice system.  CRJ also is a welcoming environment for justice practitioners where their service is deeply appreciated and honored. 

Both the undergraduate and graduate programs in Criminal Justice are rooted in the moral tradition of the West and the Judeo-Christian ethic and at the same time, comprehensive, dedicated to high levels of professionalism and the discovery of best practices. The undergraduate program is both residential and online while the MS in Criminal Justice is fully online.
