Why go?

Open house: Meet us and see a (pretend) crime scene

Thinking about a major that combines critical thinking, passion and practical skills? A criminology degree is for you.

Come meet us!

Talk to faculty, learn about opportunities in classes, internships, jobs and campus life.

Mike Kyle, a former criminology student and current professor at Central Missouri, will do a crime scene demo.

Schedule a tour and see the rest of our gorgeous campus.

Already a criminology student? Swing by and talk to your professors. Face-to-face conversation builds a relationship with the people who want you to succeed.

Cops on Campus: Do fun stuff and talk to the pros

There’s something about seeing a K-9 unit in action.

Other demonstrations have the same, fun energy. Meet criminal investigators, crime scene experts, traffic officers and more. Learn about police work and the criminology field.

Try your hand at literal beer goggles. (Your impaired vision and balance will be put to the test.) Find fellow students and make friends.
