Criminal Justice (Conservation Law Enforcement Concentration) Degree Overview

The Conservation Law Enforcement concentration in the Criminal Justice program provides students with a strong foundation in the conservation and environmental issues that criminal justice personnel must address in Maine, the New England region, and across the nation.
