Criminal Justice

The Criminal Justice major at Colby Community College explores the connections among the individual, society, law, science, crime, and justice. The program is designed for highly motivated students who wish to pursue positions in the criminal justice profession. 

The Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year degree program in criminal justice or a social or behavioral science program. The curriculum may be modified to reflect student interests and the requirements of a particular transfer institution.

Earning a degree in criminal justice can help you qualify for many different job opportunities within the field. While police officers make up a large portion of the professionals working in law enforcement, there are many more career options to consider, from FBI agents to computer forensic specialists. With the wide range of available roles, you can find a career that fits your unique interests, skills, talents, and salary expectations.
