The Criminal Justice program
is designed for students who plan to seek employment in various
positions related to criminal justice, such as police patrol
person, sheriff's deputy, alcoholic beverage control agent, game
management officer, security officer, investigator of criminal
and related offenses, state officer, police communications, and
other positions related to the criminal justice system. |
| Associate of
Arts in Criminal Justice
TVCC offers the Associate of
Arts Degree plan for students interested in continuing their
education at a senior college or university. The academic
courses offered allow the flexibility for designing special
curricula applicable to other bachelor's degree programs. |
| Two More
Options in Criminal Justice
A student can receive either
an Associate of Applied Science or a Certificate of Completion
in Criminal Justice. Both programs are designed for students
planning to enter employment upon completion. |
| The Associate of
Applied Science option
provides for a two-year curriculum leading toward an Associate
of Applied Science Degree. Students who complete the core
courses in the Criminal Justice curriculum may enroll in a
Regional Police Academy for Law Enforcement to become eligible
to take the examination to become Certified Police Officers in
Texas. |
| The Certificate of
Completion option
specifically and directly relates to competencies needed for
employment and potential advancement in a career field. A

program and later transfer the courses into the Associate of
Applied Science Degree. |
