Criminal Justice
The Criminal Justice program is comprised of professional and general education courses and is designed to provide the student with a broad exposure to criminal justice theory and process as well as contemporary issues and problems. The curriculum provides a balanced approach to both law enforcement and corrections, with supporting courses that enhance both perspectives. The program has been developed in conjunction with active professionals in the field of criminal justice who serve as members of an advisory committee. Completion of this program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice.
Career Opportunities
The demand for trained personnel has grown significantly over the past several years and is expected to continue as police agencies expand to meet the demands for crime control. Graduates find employment in the criminal justice system at the federal, state, and local levels of government. Security-related employment in the private sector also provides a wide variety of career possibilities. The demand for persons trained in criminal justice is expected to remain strong over the next several years.
Prospective criminal justice students should be aware of the fact that criminal justice and security employment candidates are subject to extensive background checks that may include drug screening, polygraph testing, physical and psychological examinations, and oral and/or written proficiency examinations.
