The Mission of
Tiffin University
Offer quality, professionally-focused, learning-centered
undergraduate and graduate degree programs
and life-long learning opportunities to prepare
traditional college-age students and adult students
for successful careers and for productive and satisfying lives
of excellence, leadership and service.
Work with employers and specific professions
to anticipate, design, and deliver effective academic programs
that reflect evolving professional needs
and intellectual requirements of the future.

Whatever your major in the School of Arts and
Sciences, you will learn from teachers with real-world
experience who will instill the skills and knowledge
needed for you to succeed in your future. Employers look
for well-rounded individuals who not only possess speak-
ing and writing skills, but who can think critically and
communicate ideas and beliefs. The faculty in the School
of Arts and Sciences provide students with these skills in
areas ranging from the arts and music to communications,
culture, science, and history, and help students to prepare
for their lives after college graduation.
Message From the Dean
Joyce Hall-Yates, J.D.
Without viable thinking and commu-
nication abilities, students in the 21st
Century will not be able to engage
intensively in the cultural, social and
technological changes impacting all
professional roles in society. The School
of Arts and Sciences is the educational foundation for all
academic programs at Tiffin University. Our general educa-
tion courses prepare students to be critical thinkers, engage
in teamwork, communicate with clarity, and understand
cultural and ethical implications of human behavior. With
these abilities, a person will be successful in any career
choices they make.
The School of Arts and Sciences supports degree programs
in Arts Administration, Communication, Education, English,
Exercise Science, Forensic Science, General Science, History,
Paralegal Studies, and Professional Music. Our school
also has supporting coursework with other majors at
Tiffin University in the School of Business and the School
of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences.
We have diverse, talented professors who help our students
investigate many different facets of human thought that
shape our culture and society. The faculty and staff of the
school will assist any student to discern her or his area of
interest and pursue a course of study leading to profession-
al success. We take the time to listen and guide students to
achieve their highest potential.
It is my privilege to represent the faculty of the School
of Arts and Sciences. We welcome your interest in Tiffin
University, whether you’re a present or prospective student.

and interpret the past to de-
termine what happened, how
these events unfolded and why
they were important. Such an
educational experience provides
students with an extensive
knowledge of human thought
and experience through time
and across cultures. In addi-
tion, History majors learn vital,
widely applicable skills such as
research, analysis, and written
and oral communication. This
major also serves as an anchor
for individuals seeking to teach
social studies in grades 7-12.

“The classes in the School
of Arts & Sciences give a
view of what actually goes
on in the career for which
we are preparing. Not only
do they teach us what the
careers are about, but they
show us how to prepare for
reality. It’s not all about the
books, it’s about life.”

Paralegal Studies
Tiffin University’s Bachelor of
Arts in Paralegal Studies de-
gree is designed for students
interested in gaining substan-
tive and procedural knowl-
edge of the legal system in
order to gain employment
under the supervision of a
licensed attorney. Students
will develop knowledge and
expertise concerning the legal
system, engage in ana-
lytical research and writing
methods, draft court and legal
documents, learn law office
management and docketing
systems and professional in-
terviewing. Students will also
study the application of legal
principles to the resolution of
problems in the administra-
tion of criminal justice, such
as jury selection, police stress,
and designing effective reha-
bilitation programs.
Paralegal students will learn
through both academic
course work and technical
skills classes while at Tiffin

Professional Music
Professional Music is a
performance-based degree
designed to provide the
student with a contemporary
and modern musical skill set
and marketable skills that
are generally not taught in
traditional university music
degrees. The degree empha-
sizes individual musicianship
and a proficiency in multiple
musical skills, rather than
developing expertise on one
instrument only, as is typical
of traditional performance
degrees. It uses a diversity
of popular musical styles to
teach musicianship, rather
than the classical repertoire
most often used to teach
musicianship in traditional
university programs. All
students develop a high level
of core musicianship while
learning the skills needed
to be flexible and adaptable
to the ever-changing face of
contemporary music.
This degree responds to the
needs of the projected job
growth among musicians. The
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
projects a 30% growth among
independent musicians
(2008-2018), making it the
fastest-growing sector among
those employed in music-
related industries. The BA in
Professional Music places
TU at the forefront of music
higher education.

Dr. JAMES PADILLA
For Schools of Business, accreditation is the most
impressive measurement of a distinctive and in-
novative curriculum and Tiffin University’s School
of Business holds this status with two of the most
reputable organizations. Not only is TU’s School of
Business accredited by the Accreditation Council for
Business Schools and Program (ACBSP), we also hold accreditation
through the European Council for Business Education (ECBE) and are
only one of two schools in the United States to hold this distinctive
business school accreditation. This is in addition to the fact that all
Tiffin University academic programs are authorized by the Ohio Board
of Regents and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC),
which is one of the six regional accreditation bodies recognized
by essentially all of the major public and private colleges and
universities in America.
Besides our business programs offered on campus and around the
state of Ohio, we also have campuses in several international loca-
tions currently including Bucharest, Romania, and Taipei, Taiwan.
We’re proud that our business program is truly global.
The benefit to all of our students as a result is an exceptional group
of faculty who are actively presenting and researching in their
respective fields, and in many cases, teaching globally, and each
brings that knowledge back into the classroom. Further, our students
experience real world business practice by serving as an intern with-
in their respective disciplines while at TU and can even do so over-
seas. Finally, all our students benefit from a 100-plus year tradition
of graduating competent, ethical professionals with the opportunity
to attain real success in positions they desire; an essential factor,
given today’s constantly changing, globally competitive marketplace.
So, if you are looking for a program that will prepare you for the
complex, global environment of today’s competitive marketplace,
come see us. We are ready to help you make this happen. We look
forward to meeting you and wish you the best in your educational
endeavors!

the entire four years, stressing
real-world applications. Account-
ing students will participate in
an internship during their junior
or senior year. These internships
often lead to permanent full-time
employment.

want to consider joining the
Iota Epsilon chapter of Delta Mu
Delta, located at Tiffin University.
This is a national honor society

Marketing
The Marketing major is designed
to provide you with real-world
experience in such areas as marketing
management, retailing, advertising,
and conducting marketing research.
Marketing has assumed a key role
in most organizations because of
its focus on the customer. It is the
discipline that helps organizations
determine which goods and services
they should offer and what features
and benefits can give them a
competitive advantage.
A recent article in Business Week re-
ported that an astounding 74% of the
Presidents and CEOs of America’s 500
largest corporations rose to the top by
beginning their careers in the market-
ing department. This makes sense, as
marketing has assumed a key role in
today’s business world because of its
focus on the customer. That crucial
focus in the world of business is re-
flected on the TU campus, where the
focus is on you and your education.
The Marketing Club
Marketing majors are encouraged to
join the Marketing Club, which is as-
sociated with Delta Epsilon

DEGREE QUALIFICATIONS PROFILE
The School of Business at Tiffin
University (TU) has adopted
the “Degree Qualifications
Profile” (DQP), a degree
qualifications frame-
work created
by the Lumina
Foundation for
Education intended
to better define the
value of degree
attainment. The DQP
is a transformative
educational tool which
visibly illustrates what
students should be
expected to know and be able
to do once they earn their degrees. The goal simply is to clearly define
the quality of education delivered by TU’s School of Business, ensuring
that students achieve the levels of learning they need and deserve.
The DQP lays out five basic areas of learning: Broad, Integrative Knowl-
edge, Specialized Knowledge, Intellectual Skills, Applied Learning and
Civic Learning. Each area serves as a foundational component to learn-
ing and Bachelor-Degree attainment, specifically a Bachelor of
Business Administration, as issued by TU. Each basic area of learning
is not meant to be equal, but offered in a manner consistent with our
academic majors, the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and
Program (ACBSP), the School of Business’ “Guiding Statement” and
TU’s mission.

If you want to supplement your academics with real world experiences, a major in
Tiffin University’s School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences
might be for you. The school requires an internship as part of your education, which
gives you an advantage in gaining full-time employment. Our graduates are U.S.
Marshals, psychologists, corrections officers, and federal agents, just to name a few
professions. And they all got their start at TU, where professors have worked in their
respective fields.

Welcome to the School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences.
Our School has a great deal to offer prospective students as
you make important choices about your career and your future.
We offer a Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree with majors
in Cyber-Defense and Information Security, Law Enforce-
ment, Corrections, Homeland Security and Terrorism, Forensic
Psychology, and Forensic Science. In addition, we offer a Bachelor of Arts degree
with majors in Government and National Security and Psychology. This fall we are
offering a new Bachelor of Science degree in Forensic Science for students who
wish to enter laboratory professions.
Our graduates go on to work as law enforcement officers, federal agents, agency
directors, intelligence and security officers, corrections counselors, and in a vari-
ety of other security and social service roles around the nation and the world.
While some degree programs suggest an internship as part of your education,
the School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences requires it. An internship will
allow you to graduate with practical experience that will give you a decided
advantage in gaining full-time employment. Tiffin University has partnered with
professional organizations such as the Washington Center, American University,
and the Advanced Technical Intelligence Center for Human Capital Development
(ATIC-HCD) in order to provide our students with high quality internships.
Labor analysts predict substantially faster job growth in law enforcement,
corrections, social services, and international security and homeland security
positions. Our graduates will be in demand for these new positions. Addition-
ally, many of our baccalaureate graduates enroll in either a master’s degree
program or in law school.
The School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences degree programs feature
a strong emphasis on solid professional practice guided by sound academic
theory, an accomplished faculty with practitioner experience, an interdisciplin-
ary curriculum for all majors, and a mandatory completion of a field internship.
If you are seeking an education that integrates quality academics with practical
application in your chosen field of study, give us a call or come visit. We want to
ensure that your education is relevant to your real-world success!

Corrections
This major deals with the evaluation
and treatment of offenders as one
response to public safety concerns.
Students gain an understanding of
the fundamental causes of crime by
studying personal motivation, social
factors, and bio-medical contribution
to criminal behavior. The objective is
to find a way to release offenders who
are better prepared to avoid future
criminal conduct.
The major is structured to give you
sufficient background in legal is-
sues, management, history, social
work, and counseling that effectively
augment the knowledge and skills
you develop in the criminal justice
core curriculum. A strong empha-
sis is placed on providing the latest
perspectives on offender re-entry,
population management strategies,
offender motivation, theory, and
policy. Our Corrections program offers
students the unique opportunity to in-
teract with working professionals from
the field. Our faculty’s professional
practice experience offers you, the
student, an innovative blend of theory
and practice that is crucial for effective
professional education. In addition,
our faculty will take you into the field
and let you explore the correctional
environment first-hand, which allows
you to gain a better understanding of
the classroom instruction.

security
A degree in Cyber-Defense and
Information Security will allow a stu-
dent to be at the forefront of
protecting our Nation’s security
against emerging threats. Every
aspect of our government and
economy depends on a secure cyber
infrastructure, and developing the
policy, laws, and capabilities
necessary to keep this infrastructure
secure is the key objective of our
major in Cyber-Defense and Informa-
tion Security.
Tiffin University’s degree in
Cyber-Defense and Information
Security is designed to give individu-
als the knowledge to handle current
and future threats in a professional
manner. The Bachelor of Arts in Cyber
Defense and Information Security will
prepare students to pursue careers in
information assurance and cyberspace
policy. The curriculum concentrates
on information policy and the
relationships of the InterAgency.
Students following this track will
learn how to develop, implement, and
enforce effective cyber policy across
multiple private and government
organizations at the federal, state,
local, and tribal levels. After gradu-
ating, common certificates can be
obtained such as Certified Information
Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
and Security+.
“The CJ Professors have all
encouraged me to always do well
and they have inspired me to keep
trying. All of the knowledge and
inspiration I have gained from
Tiffin helped so much in my
internship in Washington D.C.
with the U.S. Marshals Service.”

DIGITAL FORENSICS
Cyberspace is the fastest-growing
environment for crime. Banking
fraud, music and film piracy, online
trafficking in drugs, weapons, or
sex happens in cyberspace.
Evidence of other crime is found
on computers and mobile technol-
ogy. Law Enforcement needs to
track these criminals and gather the
digital evidence against them, and
this is where you come in.
A degree in Digital Forensics
allows a student to be at the center
of an area within the criminal
justice system that will always be
growing. As new technology arises,
criminals are finding new ways to
commit the crime, and hide from
authorities.
The Bachelor of Criminal
Justice in Digital Forensics degree
will give you the knowledge and
hands-on experience to deal with
these technologically-sophisti-
cated crimes. After completion
of the degree, our graduates are
equipped, with the proper skills
to embark on careers in cyber law
enforcement and national security
positions requiring technical cyber
know-how. Students will learn
the complex tasks of collecting and
preserving evidence on mobile
and desktop platforms, skills that
employers, including the FBI, the
Department of Defense, the National
Security Agency, state and local
law enforcement, and private cyber
security firms seek.

Security
Our national security depends upon
the creativity, energy, and skills of
young people serving with federal,
state, and local agencies and operat-
ing in our homeland, at our borders,
and overseas. The next generation of
diplomats, military officers, CIA/FBI
agents, and state and local officials
will help define, detect, and defend
against threats to our national secu-
rity that emerge in coming years.
Tiffin University has developed a
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Govern-
ment and National Security to meet
the growing and demanding needs of
our governing agencies for motivated
and well-educated graduates.
Recruiters and other representatives
from the CIA, FBI, Department of De-
fense, Department of State, U.S. Secret
Service, and U.S. Marshals, among
others, have come to TU to encourage
our students to apply for permanent
positions with their agencies.
Our faculty has served in combat, in
CIA stations, military installations, in
FBI field offices, with U.S. Marshals at
home, and in the White House.

Homeland Security/
Terrorism
This program looks at homeland se-
curity/terrorism from the viewpoint
of our domestic first responders.
Students are offered the legalities of
terrorism and how existing statutes
can further help those dedicated to
diminishing the American way of
life. Other subjects covered include
the collection and use of intelli-
gence, weapons used by terrorists,
organizations involved in homeland
security/terrorism at every level
of government, and counterintel-
ligence/counterterrorism.
We developed this Bachelor of
Criminal Justice (BCJ) major in direct
response to the real security threats
posed by transnational terrorist or-
ganizations. This major is designed
to provide you with the opportunity
to understand homeland security
issues and challenges in context of
the new and evolving contemporary
operating environment.

Tiffin university – Primary Recruitment School
for the U.S. Marshals
Students majoring in criminal justice may have the opportunity to
become involved in the Centralized Student Career Experience program
(CSCEP). CSCEP is a cooperative education program that prepares
undergraduate students for Deputy U.S. Marshal (DUSM) positions.
It is a 16-week (640 hour) work-study program for college students
pursuing degrees in criminal justice, political science, psychology, public
administration, sociology, or social sciences with a concentration in one
of the majors listed. Students apply classroom experience to the real
world and gain work experience in the public sector.

Law Enforcement
This major creates an understanding
of criminal behavior and the values
and purposes of the criminal justice
system. Students prepare for admin-
istrative and leadership positions
by studying criminal law, agency
management, and ethical issues faced
by society in dealing with crime. Aca-
demic preparation is complemented
by an internship that provides valu-
able field experience.
Successful baccalaureate degree
graduates in Law Enforcement must
comprehend the mission, structure,
goals, and operations of police agen-
cies at the local, state, and federal
levels in a democratic society. The
prevention, repression, and control
of crime in America requires that law
enforcement agents appreciate the
critical role they play in balancing
public order and individual liberty.
Critical shortages exist at all levels of
police service, but perhaps no more
dire than in municipal and county law
enforcement. Recruiting efforts are
underway across the nation that are
unmatched in history! Many police
and sheriffs’ agencies are conduct-
ing nationwide recruiting drives. The
International Association of Chiefs of
Police estimates that nearly two-thirds
of America’s police department have
vacancies.
