Criminal Justice

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Martin Luther King Jr.

The criminal justice program of Clatsop Community College is designed to prepare individuals to serve the community and its members in a variety of criminal justice settings. As theory and practices form the basis for knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, students are challenged to observe and participate in class on a daily basis. This leads to graduates being prepared to perform the basic duties and tasks associated with entry-level positions in criminal justice and corrections and/or continue their education.
