Prepare for Leadership Roles as a Juvenile Justice Professional
EKU’s online juvenile justice certificate prepares students with the essential knowledge and skills for a successful career as juvenile justice professionals. Students will learn about trends in delinquency, the role of juvenile courts and evidence-based delinquency interventions.
A certificate is a great option for students who are just beginning their education and want to explore the curriculum and the field before committing to a bachelor’s degree. It is also a good option for students who have earned, or are currently working toward, a bachelor’s degree in another area of study who want to apply their education to the field of juvenile justice.
