Spend some time with CSU this summer

Are you a high school student age 14-18 interested in criminal justice? Would you like to gain hands-on experience in criminal justice? Would you like to meet law enforcement agents, professors, and other students that share your interest? Would you like to learn about C.S.I. techniques, K-9 patrol, bomb and arson investigations, court proceedings, drone patrol, and prisons? Would you like to investigate a mock crime scene?

If you dream of a career in criminal justice, come and get a glimpse of the real world of criminal justice from the people who work in it every day. Visit with law enforcement agents, professors, and criminal justice students, as well as learn the procedures of prisons, crime labs, and the coroner’s office. Participate in activities that give you hands-on experiences, such as investigating a mock crime scene, being arrested, arresting someone else, and the like.
