Program curriculum will develop students’ oral and written communication skills, critical thinking skills, ability to apply ethical and legal standards in decision making, interpersonal and social skills, understanding of diversity in criminal justice, organizational skills, and ability to examine and analyze individual needs.

The B.S. in Criminal Justice and Rehabilitation offers a unique approach as compared to other criminal justice programs at universities in the region. The rehabilitation model emphasizes education and training to promote positive behavioral change as well as recognition of the underlying factors that commonly lead to unlawful behavior. The program focuses on rehabilitation of the offender, rather than punishment and incarceration. UW-Stout's program will be distinct from other programs in the region which are based in sociology and political science disciplines. In addition, the program promotes interdisciplinary training with an emphasis on applied practice in developing techniques to affect positive behavioral change.
