Criminal justice
This program will provide an avenue for students to become involved in the community, gain direct experience in their field of interest, and develop a greater sense of the legal system (both criminal and civil).
Fulfilling all course requirements will allow students to earn an Associates of Arts in Criminal Justice. Students can take courses in:
- Crime in America / Technical Introduction to Criminal Justice
- Correctional Systems & Practices
- Criminal Investigation
- Courts and Criminal Procedure
- Criminal Justice Internship (the opportunity to work for a law enforcement agency)
Degree Plans
Other avenues of "real world" activities include field trips (to courts, law firms and law schools and to police stations) and speakers from different fields who will provide students with a first-hand look at the career in which they are interested and will offer them the opportunity to explore their choice. Students will get a head start on any career involving law enforcement and civil service.
