Program Description
The Corrections and Security curriculum is made up of courses designed to prepare students for a career in the corrections arena with an emphasis on developing skills and knowledge that pertain to working in correctional facilities.The Corrections program is an outgrowth of recognition of the increasing need for trained personnel in the field. This area of criminal justice is experiencing a great deal of change and expansion. New trends in inmate management and new standards for offender care have contributed to an increased need for employment of more people who possess skills and knowledge applicable to a variety of job requirements.
Students in this field are encouraged to seek academic counseling. Only a portion of this two-year curriculum is transferable to four-year institutions. Students interested in a four-year degree should inquire at the college to which they plan to attend or transfer for specific information.
This is a recommended course of study. Students may take required courses any time they are offered. (Not all classes are offered every quarter.)
Program Requirements: admittance to the Criminal Justice core classes requires the student's age to be 18 or with instructor's permission. All students are required to carry student accident insurance throughout their enrollment in the Criminal Justice program. Any student with an arrest record must have the department chair approval to take any Criminal Justice classes and/or to enter the Criminal Justice program.
