Director of the School of Criminal Justice

Ferris State University seeks nominations and applications for the position of Director of the School of Criminal Justice. The new Director will be expected to assume office by July, 2018.

Ferris State University has nearly 14,000 students enrolled in classes on its main campus in Big Rapids, 21 off-campus sites throughout Michigan and at Ferris’ Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids. By offering people what they want, when and where they need it, Ferris is Michigan's "statewide university," with a transfer rate higher than any other university in Michigan, facilitated by the ease of “laddering” from a two-year to a four-year degree.

The individual will provide leadership to the academic school, program coordinators, faculty, staff, and other employees of the Department. The Director of the School of Criminal Justice will provide academic and administrative support to the Dean of the College of Education & Human Services.
