While many colleges and universities offer "quick courses" in
select areas of criminal justice, such as basic police courses,
Trine’s program teaches criminal law, psychology, and provides the academic base to go on to a career in criminal justice or even to law school. Trine melds practical knowledge which is taught by current professionals in the field (judges, lawyers, coroners, law enforcement officers and administrators) and theory which should drive all that is done in the field of criminal justice.
