Plan of Study in Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice curriculum is designed for students who plan to transfer to four-year institutions to pursue careers in law enforcement, the courts, corrections, juvenile justice, private security, criminal behavior, and other aspects of crime and criminal justice. KCC also offers a Law Enforcement program. If you have chosen a transfer institution, consult them to make course selections. Students should see the criminal justice/law enforcement coordinator to determine which program best suits their needs. Students enrolling in this curriculum are urged to meet with an academic advisor each semester to review course selections and transfer plans.
