Best and Worst Questions to Ask Which College is Going to Help Me Achieve My Most Important Goals Best? • Help you stay Catholic, gain wisdom, get good friends, find vocation, get a broadened worldview, and get a good job. Which College Do I need to Go to in Order to Major in the Field Which I Believe I am Going to Work in for the Rest of My Life? • Good chance you will never work in that field. Christendom Alumni Facts • Well-educated, employed in every field • Very happy that they attended Christendom • Still practicing Catholics (Maybe 10-20 out of 3000 who have left the faith) • Good marriages (425 alumni-alumni, less than 20 divorces) • Vocations to religious life (80 priests, 50 sisters) • First job out of college around $40,000 (Average income of US family is $54K) • Rise up the corporate ladder very quickly and are financially successful • Are part of the solution to today’s problems in the culture • Are leaders, not followers, who are daring to be great in all that they do Happiness Matters • "When I hire people, I just look for the light in the person, to see what's good about them. I can spot it a mile away." • "If their family couldn't give them a positive attitude, there's nothing I can do that's going to change it." • “Success all comes down to positivity and happiness. Unhappy people aren't great performers. Even those who have all the right skills on paper will never reach their full potential if they're unhappy.” SUMMARY – THE TRUTH • You can do anything with a liberal arts degree – ANYTHING!! • Most jobs do not require specific degrees in order to work in them. • It’s more about your “soft skills” and ability to be innovative and proactive. • It’s sometimes more important “who you know” than “what you know.” • Christendom helps you be happy by living the life God has called you to live • Christendom College can help you fulfill your dreams – professional, personal, and spiritual..

(Video courtesy of Gellman Images) Catholic Athletes for Christ (CAC) honored Major League Baseball's Darrell Miller with its 4th annual Courage Award at a reception attended by more than 100 on October 21 in Arlington, Va. The award recognizes superior Catholic evangelization in sports. Miller played professionally with the California Angels as a catcher and outfielder from 1984-1988 and currently serves as the director of MLB's Urban Youth Academy. He has been a supporter of CAC since its inception in 2006, serving on the organization's Athlete Advisory Board and its speakers bureau. "Darrell Miller, a convert to the Catholic faith, has been a tremendous advocate for faith in athletics, both on and off the playing field," CAC President Ray McKenna said. "Through his tireless effort in helping establish baseball's Urban Youth Academy for inner city children and his eagerness to speak about his Catholic faith to groups large and small, Darrel is a shining example of the 'new evangelization' in the world of sports." In addition to the Courage Award presentation to Miller, CAC honored student- athletes from the Catholic high schools (Seton School, Bishop O'Connell H.S., Bishop Ireton H.S., St. John Paul the Great H.S., and Paul VI H.S.) and colleges (Christendom College and Marymount University) in the Arlington Diocese.

  • Criminal Justice.Docx
    Criminal Justice Master of Science in Criminal Justice Criminal justice involves enforcing and maintaining laws, protecting U.S. citizens, and punishing individuals who commit crimes. A campus-based or online degree program in criminal justice provides students with a solid understanding of criminal justice and the related theories and concepts that apply to the legal and law enforcement fields. The programs include instruction on a variety of criminal justice topics, including criminology, corrections, forensic science, criminal law, criminal procedures, legal research, and law ethics. In addition to the criminal justice core courses, nearly all degree programs require general education courses to ensure students receive a well-rounded liberal arts education. General education courses assist individuals in effectively communicating with a wide range of people around the world. Students gain an understanding of their role in a diverse society, as well as their accountability in the world as a whole. The scope of the general education courses varies by programs, but majority of colleges and universities encourage students to complete their general education courses during the first year of coursework. Some schools do not allow students to register for upper-level coursework before completing the general education requirements. Also, many bachelor’s degree programs require the completion of general education classes by the junior year. Recommended Course-Work Students choosing to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice upon graduating Christendom College are advised to complete the following courses at Christendom College: While Christendom doesn’t offer any specific Criminal Justice courses, the following courses will help form a student’s mind to better learn and apply their knowledge to future classes.
