Francis Worldwide: Criminal Justice, A.S.

The purpose of the Criminal Justice program is to provide the knowledge, skills, and perspectives necessary for preparing for careers and/or future advanced study in the three principal career domains: law enforcement and security, courts, and corrections. The program enables students to demonstrate an understanding of the origins of criminal behavior, society’s response to crime, and the consequences to our society through multiple perspectives. This degree will help police officers and other law enforcement professionals with a more complete understanding of the entire justice system and will help you prepare for promotions and changes in rank.
