The Criminal Justice program prepares students for careers and further study in the field of Criminal Justice. The criminal justice system covers the fields of police, courts, and corrections. Students will study law, both criminal and civil, including New York State Penal, Criminal Procedure, and Constitutional. Students will gain knowledge in many aspects of law and law enforcement through instruction and hands on activities. Students will develop a strong foundation of knowledge, as well as an understanding of the criminal justice system. Upon completion, students will be better prepared for continued studies in criminal justice, entry level law enforcement positions or military service.
