Northern Arizona University

   

The Department of Criminal Justice at NAU is characterized by its strong commitment to delivering its teaching, scholarship, and public service to all communities. We are especially committed to providing a welcoming educational environment for those interested in Native American and Latino justice issues, and through educational outreach to the Native American communities of the Colorado Plateau. The department is very proud to demonstrate continued growth in its minority student population. For example, from 1999 to 2005 the department increased its Latino student population by 42%, roughly one-fourth of all criminal justice majors. American Indian students represent a significant portion of our minority population, as do African Americans. Women represent approximately 60% of the department’s majors.
