Criminal Justice Certificate

The Criminal Justice Certificate provides students with the basics of the United States criminal justice system including juvenile crime, criminal behavior and policing.  Students can enroll in the certificate by itself or along with the associate degree in Criminal Justice. A certificate in criminal justice, as a supplement to another degree program, can set students apart from others who are seeking employment in the criminal justice field. For individuals already working in criminal justice, this certificate is an effective way to establish credentials. Completing this program also provides many benefits for students who work in other fields.

Employers in many lines of business, including information technology, education, or social services, may value the professional expertise and personal determination this certificate demonstrates.

Many of the courses in this program are offered at all three Atlantic Cape campus locations. Additionally, for the busy professional, this certificate can be completed 100% online.
