The Criminal Justice Homeland Security program is designed to provide students with the courses necessary to meet 2 + 2 and 3 + 1 degree requirements for institutions offering Bachelor Degrees in Criminal Justice.
Students selecting this major are strongly advised to meet with an OCC counselor throughout their program of study for courses that might be required at the transfer college you plan to attend.
Graduating from this program does not automatically qualify the student for the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) endorsement. Students in this program seeking MTA endorsement should work closely with an OCC counselor to identify courses from the MTA List and appropriate math courses for transfer purposes which apply to the endorsement and to degree requirements.
