Criminal Justice

Today, more than ever, professionals trained to protect the lives and property of others are a vital need in our society. Mercyhurst North East’s associate degree in criminal justice, with concentrations in crime and intelligence analysis and law enforcement, prepares students for careers in this high demand field.

Students in this program are prepared for entry-level careers in law enforcement, corrections, and private security.  The degree can also be coupled with the Municipal Police Training Academy and after successful completion, students will meet the requirements to become a municipal police officer in Pennsylvania.
