NMC offers an Associate in Science and Arts with a Criminal Justice Focus online, in partnership with Michigan Colleges Online (formerly MCCVLC). The program may involve articulation agreements leading to a four-year degree from another institution. A degree in criminal justice opens career opportunities at local, state, and national levels as the field increasingly seeks college-educated professionals. NMC also partners with Ferris State University for a 3+1 Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice completable in Traverse City.
