Serving the State of Iowa since 1985
UNI offered the first Criminology program of the three state schools starting with our B.A. degree in 1985. As a result of our long history, we have educated people working in the criminal justice system and associated organizations all over the state. In our program, we emphasize career preparation throughout our courses. We also offer targeted job search skills and career preparation in our Senior Seminar and Internship Programs. The picture below shows how Criminology alumni since 1985 are now working throughout the entire state.
