Introduction
The Criminal Justice AA prepares students to transfer to a university in the best position for on-time graduation. Students will study how the American Criminal Justice System functions, why crime occurs, and have opportunities to study policing, juveniles, criminal law, investigations, and victimology. Students may craft their AA to coincide with their particular interests in the field, whether in corrections, law, victim assistance, emergency management, or law enforcement. Students who do not wish to transfer to a University can still work in policing and corrections after the completion of this well-rounded AA degree. Students can opt to choose the AAS in Law Enforcement designed for students who wish to complete a two-year degree with no intention to transfer to a four-year institution and immediately work in the field. The AAS is designed to prepare the student for the workplace in law enforcement or corrections. This department also features a certificate in Emergency Management. This fully online 21-credit program allows the student to study the basics involved in the management of disasters and emergencies. All faculty members who instruct in these programs have extensive personal experience in the field.
