The Associate of Arts - Criminal Justice Field of Study program is focused on preparing graduates for a continued educational career towards a baccalaureate after completing the program at Collin College. Upon completion of the program, students are expected to have enhanced critical thinking, written, interpersonal and oral communication skills. As such, courses are designed to provide students an introduction to the criminal justice system, key concepts, practices, and criminal justice policy via critical analysis. The educational and professional skills students learn within the criminal justice program are expected to prepare them for the academic rigor of continued education and help them excel within their careers.
Students can also earn a Field of Study Certificate in Criminal Justice to build a solid foundation of criminal justice knowledge.
