Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences
Study Abroad Trips 2010
The Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences invites you to take part in a unique travel experience to one of the four countries in the coming year as part of the College's Study Abroad Program.
The programs are designed for students to visit criminal justice agencies and take part in sightseeing and tourism opportunities. Each of the programs will be hosted by a faculty member of the College. All of these locations offer you a career building experience toward a better understanding of the impact that global crime and the role of other countries has on the comparative aspects of criminal justice in America.
We also encourage alums, practitioners and family members to join our students in these trips. By inviting alums and friends, we hope to broaden your knowledge and provide a very different kind of travel experience.
