CRJU – CJ71: Criminal Justice Fundamentals TCC
The Criminal Justice Fundamentals certificate program is a sequence of courses that prepares students
for criminal justice professions. Learning opportunities develop academic, occupational, and professional
knowledge and skills required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. The program emphasizes
a combination of criminal justice theory and practical application necessary for successful employment.
Completion of the Criminal Justice Specialist certificate program may permit students to pursue entrylevel opportunities in the criminal justice field. Completion of this certificate program does not ensure
certification of officer status in Georgia. Students must seek such certification through the Peace Officer
Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Council.
Career Opportunities
Graduates qualify for entry-level employment that can lead to on-the-job training for certification as peace officers
and may pursue positions with state, local, or federal agencies.
