Associate of Arts - Criminal Justice
The Associate of Arts - Criminal Justice focuses on policing practices, corrections, the criminal court system, and juvenile justice. Students take a comprehensive look at these topics through interactive assignments that not only develop their critical thinking skills, but also enable them to recognize the functions of the criminal justice professions within their communities. Students are required to formulate conclusions, evaluate decisions, and develop opinions based on learned topics. Students also analyze relationships between the citizens, the police, and the court systems.
