POTSDAM — An online higher education website says SUNY Potsdam's criminal justice program competes with the top in the nation.
SUNY Potsdam was 28th in the ranking based on the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice's strength in being "incredibly supportive" of students and applied learning opportunities, according to the report, "40 Best Criminal Justice Schools and Universities in the U.S.
"We take a generalist approach, allowing our students to examine criminal justice topics from a variety of perspectives," said department chair Dr. David Bugg. "This allows our graduates the opportunity to choose any number of career paths-whether it be law enforcement, corrections, probation and parole, law school, victim services, crime analysis, or other paths such as loss prevention and private investigation."
