Crime Analysis Certificate Requirements

2009-2010 Catalog
Crime Analysis Certificate

Crime analysis is an up-and-coming field within law enforcement. This program is nothing like crime scene investigation. It combines criminal behavior theory, research and data from police departments and high-level computers to map and analyze where crime occurs (or might occur in the future) and to identify, locate and ultimately apprehend criminals.

The Crime Analysis certificate enables professionals to obtain the sometimes overlooked yet necessary skills to work successfully in this field. These courses are offered online only, and in an accelerated format. For more information please contact Christine Swenson at 303.797.5980 or christine.swenson@arapahoe.edu to make an appointment.

Students should have the ability to produce work above the developmental level to be successful in this program. This means students must have ACCUPLACER reading scores of 80+ and writing scores of 95+ or ACT/SAT scores that are equivalent.
