| This program is designed for full-time students desiring employment after two years of study. Careful planning and selection of courses is necessary to complete the program in two years. Many students take advantage of summer terms to fill general education requirements. Consult the Criminal Justice Department Chair for specific details on selecton of proper electives. Graduation from this program of study may now be completed at Broome Community college by completing all course requirements during the day. Required Criminal Justice courses also are taught in evenings to meet the needs of practitioners or others who cannot take classes during the day. The program also is designed to meet the needs of student wishing to transfer to a four-year degree program upon graduation from Broome Community College. Students entering Criminal Justice must understand that most law enforcement agencies have physical, psychological, and medical fitness standards, and require a background free of felony and serious misdemeanor convictions. In some cases, juvenile delinquency adjudications may exclude a person from employment in any level of law enforcement. This course of study is not intended for prospective law school students. SEQUENCE OF COURSES: This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and who decide to pursue full-time study. Schedules will be redesigned for those requiring preparatory courses or those deciding to pursue part-time study. Many students find it helpful to ease their course load during the school year by taking general education requirements during summer terms. |
