Marist’s Criminal Justice faculty come from a variety of industry backgrounds and experiences to share with students which results in well-rounded professionals entering the field. Due to our small class sizes, our faculty are able to provide one-on-one attention to each of our students, advising them in their unique paths toward successful careers in the Criminal Justice system.

At Marist, we believe practical experience in the field is essential to developing career preparedness. That’s why our Criminal Justice program determines specialized internship opportunities for all of our students. With over 75 internship opportunities, our students are continually forming relationships with our local, state, and federal partners, and they often engage in more than one internship. Our students have interned with the US Marshals, the Dutchess County District Attorney, and the Secret Service, to name a few. These connections are invaluable for our students, as many are offered paid positions after completing their internships.

At Marist, we are focused on providing our Criminal Justice students with the tools and experience they need to pursue successful and meaningful careers in their area of Criminal Justice. While many of our students do enter law enforcement post-graduation, there is a wide range of career opportunities for students who complete a Criminal Justice degree from Marist, including law, forensics, criminology, youth outreach, and many more. Here are just a few examples of career placements Marist Criminal Justice students have achieved after completing their degree.
