Associate of Science Degree, Criminal Justice Major
This program prepares students with a well-rounded liberal arts background for entry-level employment in law enforcement. Students study administration of police units, collection of evidence, police laboratory techniques, theory and practice of handling convicted law violators, the criminal justice processes, and the role of law enforcement in American society. When requirements are successfully completed, the student is awarded an Associate of Science degree. Academic requirements completed in this program also apply to the Bachelor of Science degree should a student desire to continue his studies after two years.
Because a baccalaureate degree in criminal justice can lead to higher entry-level and possible management positions, students are encouraged to complete the Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice.
