Criminal Justice, A.A.S.
The AAS/CRJ degree program prepares the student for a career in Law Enforcement, Corrections, Homeland Security, and for some private security career paths. This degree will require the student to have completed CO P.O.S.T. and transfer that work in to complete some of the specific degree core requirements. CCA does not currently offer the CO P.O.S.T. The program places a strong emphasis on reading, writing, and verbal comprehension skills; moral and ethical judgement; and empathetic awareness and demonstration of cultural diversity. Students are advised to consult with the program Director/Chair before enrolling in the degree if they are not sure they meet the law enforcement training academy qualifications.
