Associate in Science Degree in Criminal Justice - Bethpage

The Associate in Science degree in Criminal Justice is designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the field of criminal justice and enable them to pursue an entry-level position in the field of protective services or to pursue more advanced study at the baccalaureate level. The curriculum offers a balance of theory and application that will prove challenging to students and useful in the field. As with most fields, computers have become an important part of criminal justice practice; therefore, the program provides valuable experience using computers.

This criminal justice program enables students to explore and prepare for career openings in policing, private investigation, corrections, probation and parole, private protective security, or as providers of security to firms concerned with incidences of computer crime. The curriculum has been purposefully designed to provide sufficient breadth and depth, giving students a solid core of courses in the discipline and allowing the exploration of one or more specialty areas that would deliver knowledge appropriate to their career aspirations. Students in the Criminal Justice program should be aware that additional education may be required for employment in some positions.
