Help people turn their lives around
Do you love the thrill of a chase or the focus of solving a puzzle? If you’ve always loved helping and protecting people, criminal justice can be a great career. As a police officer or lawyer, you’re on the frontlines of keeping communities safe. On the flip side, working as a corrections or probation officer gives you the chance to help people turn their lives around.
Whether you’re looking to start your career or make a move in your current law enforcement job, a criminal justice degree opens up your opportunities. You’ll take classes in basic technique, psychology and procedure alongside new students and working professionals. There’s always a need for highly-qualified officers, and careers in law enforcement offer excellent benefits and growth.
Why study criminal justice at LMC?
Real-life law and order. Actual criminal justice work is far different than your favorite TV show – but it is rewarding, exciting and important. No two days are the same – but every day involves serving and protecting the community you call home.
The law in your hands. If you’re looking for a career right out of school, criminal justice gets you ready for an entry-level job in corrections. You could work at a county, state or federal jail, prison or juvenile detention center.
Long arm of the law. If you’re looking to become a police officer, detective or lawyer, the criminal justice program gives you a great foundation. From here, our advisors can help you transfer to a four-year college or a police academy.
