Criminal Justice: Law Enforcement
Certificate: Public Service
Credit Requirements: 27 Semester Credit Hours
This certificate prepares students for entry-level positions where a degree is not required, but advanced education enhances employability and promotion. Many private security companies do not require an academic degree for applicants, but do look favorably upon people with post-high school education in the criminal justice field. Admission into this program requires proof of high school graduation (or GED) and qualifying scores on SAT, ACT or TTC's placement test. See your advisor for reading and writing placement.
