BS Criminal Justice Conservation Law Enforcement Degree

Prepares you to enforce laws designed to protect natural environments, wildlife populations, and public lands.

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. This concentration will prepare students for careers as a Maine Game Warden or a Marine Patrol Officer. Additionally, a student seeking a traditional law enforcement career in Maine (a city or town police officer) will gain knowledge of the environments that are relevant in criminal investigations, such as rural search areas, suspicious drownings, and timber theft.

“I am so grateful for every opportunity the Maine Forest Service has given to me to explore future careers in the criminal justice and wildland fire fields. Because of this summer internship, I now have a crystal-clear career path I want to peruse. I plan to work as a wildland firefighter out west for a few seasons and then come back and apply to be a forest ranger. I have gotten a plethora of hands-on work hours, numerous training opportunities, and created many professional work connections.”
