| The Criminal Justice program at Cowley College prepares a student for a successful career in law enforcement. There is a nationwide trend toward requiring that all law enforcement professionals have at least a two-year degree. This is an ideal time to become a professional in the field of criminal justice. In response to the rise in crime rates, increasing drug abuse, and a growing population, the public demands a strong response to the violence and disorder, causing employment opportunities to increase dramatically in recent years. Career opportunities exist in many areas: local police departments and organizations, county and state police departments, prisons, environmental protection services, juvenile facilities, crime laboratories, courts and judicial offices, and community-based corrections (probation and parole). |
