About

You will attain knowledge and skills required to pursue a career in the various fields of justice where every day offers unique and exciting challenges.

These skills provide a sound foundation for your career in public and private sector justice organizations including law enforcement and corrections. Your instructors will include currently serving justice professionals and retired professionals from a variety of organizations. They are exemplary instructors committed to learner success.

You will have the opportunity to select courses from the following specializations:

  • Correctional Studies
  • General
  • Law Enforcement

This is a two-year (four term) diploma program.

Note: Future career and volunteer opportunities within justice will be negatively impacted for individuals who have any criminal convictions for which they have not yet received pardon or record suspension, or, have any criminal charges that remain pending or awaiting disposition from the courts. It is unlikely that Justice Studies graduates who have a criminal history will have any advantage when competing for employment. Applicants with further questions are advised to contact the Justice Studies program chair.

***IMPORTANT NOTE*** During the program, students will be visiting various facilities (such as correctional facilities). It is important to note that student attendance and participation during these visits are considered when determining overall grades. Some of these agencies and organizations will deny access to anyone who has either been criminally charged or has a criminal record.
