About Program
Monroe’s associate degree in Criminal Justice is the foundation you need for entry-level positions in both traditional and non-traditional areas. That’s because the criminal justice system has three major components: law enforcement, the court system, and corrections. Choose to go into law enforcement or security, social services, counseling, administration, or court management.
Professional Opportunities
At Monroe, you’re not going to just sit in a classroom. You’ll get the chance to put your academic smarts to the test in the real world when you do an internship. And you’ll broaden your experiences and your network by joining a club or honor society connected with your field.
