Faculty

Alvernia has recruited faculty who are professionals in their respective fields within the criminal justice system. In addition to academic accreditation our full-time faculty have extensive experience in the criminal justice system and all of the part time faculty are practicing professionals in the area in which they teach. The strength of the department lies in the philosophy that faculty are at the present time working in the specific field as the course that they teach. Class instruction is therefore as current as the events of that day. They include but are not limited to professionals from federal, state, and local law enforcement, judges from the courts of common pleas, probation department supervisors, criminalists from forensic laboratories, forensic psychiatry, and attorneys with prosecutorial, administrative, and defense experience. These top level professionals are regionally and nationally recognized practitioners who are directly involved in the day to day operations and decision making in the system which allows the student to receive the on the job realities as a balanced presentation integrated with the research of the course of study required in the discipline. The goal is to provide the students with the level of instruction that is needed to enter the professional workplace or continue in graduate studies.
