Criminal Justice Technology

Featuring both day and evening class programs, the CJT program is designed to teach the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes associated with the study of correctional operations and law enforcement. It includes courses such as police procedures, law, corrections and public relations. Classes are not only beneficial to students wishing to enter the criminal justice field, but can also be used to enhance currently employed law enforcement agents's skills by fine tuning areas such as report writing, computer skills, and communication/ relations skills. Students who complete the requirements of the program will receive the Associate in Applied Science degree.
