Criminal justice certificate

January 26, 2012Rosemary After having spent some time in a police department sponsored police academy this summer, I became very interested in pursuing more information on the criminal justice system. I already have a bachelor's degree in Communication, so wanted to pursue possibly an associate degree in criminal justice. I have found a few intstitutions that have this degree available, but just heard from a friend that you have a certificate program in criminal justice. Since I'm not looking at a career in criminal justice and only want to learn more about it, I am interested in your program. Can I get more information on it? Thank you.
