Associate Degree in Criminal Justice
Protect and Serve Your Community – You Have What It Takes
Criminal justice is a highly specialized field. Its members must have the right training from the right criminal justice school to get the job done and uphold a high level of public trust.
Our associate degree in Criminal Justice will provide you the opportunity to experience and learn about all aspects of the criminal justice system. You will develop the critical thinking skills necessary for modern law enforcement, security, emergency response, and investigative professions. Through exposure to contemporary policing issues, historical development, and the future of criminal justice, you will be well-prepared for a successful career.
We offer a unique opportunity to focus elective courses on homeland security, computer crime, forensics, law enforcement, and other contemporary law enforcement subjects.
Our Criminal Justice professors include law enforcement professionals who are committed to passing on their knowledge to you. Classes are taught by police commanders, detectives, state troopers, military veterans, attorneys, and other experts.
