The magnitude and changing complexity of criminal activities dictate the need for criminal justice personnel who have had a broad-based educational experience. The program as presented includes General Education courses from the college curriculum, specialized Criminal Justice core courses, essential interdisciplinary offerings, and suggested Criminal Justice requirements.
The Associate of Applied Science Program in criminal justice is designed to meet the needs of pre-service and in-service criminal justice personnel as a terminal degree. Alternately, the Associate of Arts Program fulfills the initial two-year curriculum for many four-year Criminal Justice programs. Individuals desiring a career in corrections work may benefit from this curriculum by selecting certain recommended courses in corrections. Those students who plan a career in corrections counseling or administration should also plan to take graduate study.
CWC has recently acquired a state-of-the-art Fire Arms Training System (FATS).
