The Criminal Justice Program at Andover College can prepare students for the challenges of entry-level employment by providing the knowledge, skills, physical wellness, and ethical/professional behavior standards necessary to meet the ever-changing demands of the Criminal Justice System. This program allows students to demonstrate a general knowledge of the criminal justice system as well as a working knowledge of behavior that constitutes a crime and the steps an officer may take to apprehend criminals and bring them forth for prosecution. Students also can develop excellent oral and written language skills to become good communicators and demonstrate knowledge of law enforcement authority and discretion.
