The Criminal Justice Department provides students with instruction in all areas of the law enforcement profession. We offer a broad liberal arts education, together with training and internships in the criminal justice system. The Department seeks to thoroughly familiarize students with the functions of police, courts, correctional programs, law, protection management, crime prevention and their application to the community.

The following curriculum is offered by this Department:

Criminal Justice (A.S.) - Students choosing this program will be prepared for further study in the areas of criminal justice, law, public administration, sociology, or government. The program is best suited for those students planning to transfer to a four-year school, but is often used for entry-level positions in the criminal justice system. All criminal justice majors are required to take at least one class in each of the following areas: Policing, Probation/Parole, Security Administration, in addition to CRJ 105, CRJ 212 and CRJ 225.
