Criminal Justice and Homeland Security
This program prepares students to work in the dynamic fields of law enforcement and
corrections. It also enables those already employed in these fields to gain advanced
training. Students have the option of choosing one of the following career tracks:
law enforcement, corrections or computer forensics.
The law enforcement option prepares students for careers as police officers working
in municipal police departments, county sheriff departments or state highway patrol
stations.
The corrections option prepares students to work as correctional officers or prison
guards with the goal of maintaining the security of individuals who have been arrested
and are awaiting trial or who have been convicted of a crime and sentenced to serve
time in a jail, reformatory or penitentiary.
The computer forensics option offers the specialized and cross-disciplinary knowledge
and skills necessary for work as computer forensic examiners/technicians, analysts
and auditors in law enforcement agencies, or private environment security.
