Description:
The State Correctional Peace Officer Certificate of Achievement program prepares students to be hired as correctional officers with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
The program consists of an intensive 13-week academy that provides instruction and evaluation of all academic, physical, and behavioral traits required by the CDCR to meet the minimum employment standards for a correctional officer in California.
Employment opportunities are expected to be excellent over the next ten years owing to an increasing inmate population and the large number of anticipated retirements of current correctional officers.
The Administration of Justice field of study is also available as an Associate Degree program. For more information, please see the Department of Public Safety Web site.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
