Our Faculty
All of our faculty hold advanced degrees, have extensive experience in their fields, and are excellent teachers.

As seasoned professionals and published researchers/scholars, our faculty have first-hand experience in academic and applied sociology, social work, anthropology, and criminal justice which enhances their classroom teaching. Our criminal justice adjunct faculty are not only engaging professors, but bring with them many years of experience in the field. Featuring age, ethnic, and gender diversity, our professors are also caring, committed Christians who want to see their students grow and mature academically, spiritually, and personally.
