Law Enforcement
Entry time: Fall, Spring or Summer Length: 2 1/2 years (5 semesters) Award: Associate of Arts degree Description: Criminal Justice is designed with a set of core courses and two major areas of emphasis: law enforcement and corrections. Students will select one area of emphasis upon entering the program. All components of the program are designed to be flexible and to assist the students in preparing for a variety of careers in the criminal justice system. The student has the option to enter employment after completing the associate degree or transfer to a four-year college or university. This program provides advising to guide students in choosing courses that will meet the requirements of specific transfer institutions. Law Enforcement can vary from police officers, both public and private detective work, federal agents and security guards. A law enforcement official’s job is one of the most important in every community: to keep the streets safe and protect citizens from harm. Despite the obvious dangers of the job, many people grow up wanting to work in law enforcement--and can’t imagine doing anything else. Law enforcement protects people's lives and property by enforcing the law. Program Coordinator: |
