The fast-paced expansion of all areas of the criminal justice system is creating a demand for skilled workers in local, state and federal systems.

Today's criminal justice system workforce must be knowledgeable and skilled in every component of the system to address the public's demand for services and protection.

The Associate of Science in Criminal Justice program prepares students to enter the criminal justice profession in a variety of first-tier positions. Students will be exposed to the foundational areas of the discipline: investigation and law enforcement, law and courts, and corrections and parole.

The program also addresses juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system. The ASCJ satisfies the requirements for the first two years of the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. A degree in criminal justice is also one of the best foundations available for law school.
