Catalog 2023 SPRING REVISION

EAST CENTRAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE CRIMINAL JUSTICE TECHNOLOGY (CJT/CRJ) Advisor: Mr. Brandon Felton

The Criminal Justice Technology program provides students with the skill base necessary to become professionals in law enforcement, corrections, and other criminal justice fields. Criminal Justice is balanced between basic general education courses, common to all college programs, and requirements in administrative and specialized criminal justice courses. It is designed to meet the needs of various criminal justice agencies and to provide the student with the knowledge and attitudes needed to be an effective professional in the criminal justice system. Currently, the Criminal Justice Technology provides a complete program of study for those students intending to earn the Career Certificate, Technical Certificate and/or the Associate of Applied Science degree. Completion of this program may enable students to transfer some coursework into a bachelor’s degree program.
