Testimonial

“I have been so impressed with the FSU College of Criminology advisors and professors.  They genuinely care very much for each student and are willing to go above and beyond what is required to help make their students successful.  As a student veteran, I was welcomed and assisted in ways I could not have thought possible.  Everything they are teaching me is preparing me for my future career.”
