(Code 1244)
This associate of applied science degree program prepares successful graduates for careers in corrections. It includes the 15 credit hours needed for job training certification, degree requirements, and other career-related courses. The program is also designed to provide transferability to four-year colleges and universities that offer a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice or related fields. A counselor should be consulted if the student plans to transfer to a four-year institution.
Students with a criminal record should consult with the State of Michigan to verify that they are eligible to work in this field. Students are encouraged to meet with an MCC counselor prior to starting this program for help with the verification process.
Prerequisite courses may apply to this program.
