                  What You’ll Learn during Your Criminal Justice Training

                  At Miller-Motte College, we understand that classroom lectures alone can’t prepare students for a career. That’s why we provide a combination of classroom and hands-on learning opportunities to prepare students for the working world.

                  Here are a few of the Criminal Justice courses that you can take:

                  • Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice: In this course, the students will observe the principle issues in contemporary criminal justices as well as future predictions. The students will focus on the three components of criminal justice, court, police, and corrections; past, present and future. The students will also participate in analytical review and discussion at the local, state, federal and global levels of the Criminal Justice System.
                  • Substance Abuse and Mental Health: This course will encompass an understanding of the broad categories of mental illness as well as the commonly abused substances both pharmaceutical and street drugs. Theories behind the use of such substances and the causes of mental illness as well as various treatment options for both will be explored. Finally, the class will address the challenge of working with an offender who has a dual diagnosis.
                  • Ethics and Professionalism in Criminal Justice: This course focuses on ethical considerations that criminal justice professionals are likely to encounter in the field, especially off-duty behavior, use of force and authority, profiling, corruption and conflicts of interest. The relationship between personal and public ethics is examined along with critical thinking skills to assist in finding solutions and making decisions.

                  Our Criminal Justice program not only provides students with career-focused courses, but it also includes an externship to give students the opportunity to work in the field. The externship course at Miller-Motte College allows students to network with professionals in their field, hone the skills they learned in the classroom and get a sense of the day-to-day tasks they’ll be faced with in the workforce.

                  Careers in Criminal Justice

                  With an Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice you’ll be prepared for several career paths.* Our Criminal Justice program will provide you with a range of skills that allow you to pursue a broad range of positions including:
