Distance Education and Criminal Justice at Lock Haven University

Lock Haven University does not formally offer the BS in Criminal Justice or the AA in Criminal Justice via distance through online delivery.  However, we do offer a variety of criminal justice coursework via the web, particularly during summer sessions.  These courses are typically offered to meet the needs of our currently enrolled students.  Students not currently enrolled at Lock Haven University, but who have an interest in enrolling in a web-based course that is offered should contact the criminal justice department at (570) 484-2119 for more information. Permission may be given to enroll, if existing LHUP student demand can be met.

Clearfield Campus

The Criminal Justice program at Lock Haven University also makes extensive use of Interactive Television Video (ITV) to serve the criminal justice students enrolled through the Clearfield Campus.  The majority of criminal justice students enrolled through the Clearfield Campus are pursuing the Associate’s Degree.  Introduction to Law Enforcement and Juvenile Delinquency are two courses that are taught with dual audiences (main campus and Clearfield) through ITV technology.  Students on both campuses ‘sit’ in the same classroom with the same instructor and are able to see, and interact with each other.
