The Criminal Science Program is offered to all juniors and seniors. Jobs in this career field are in high demand and there are positions available right out of high school locally as well all over the state! Students are required to take Forensic Science along with this program. All four Criminal Science courses can be taken as CCP credit for a total of 12 college credits.

Senior Year Overview

Senior students learn a structured and scientific approach to the investigation of crimes.  Students will also learn terminology and investigative procedures related to crime scene, questioning, interviewing, criminal behavior characteristics, truth detection, and collection and analysis of evidence through case studies and simulated crime scenes. In addition, seniors prepare for employment as a correctional officer by learning the role and responsibilities of a correctional officer; discuss relevant rules, regulations, and laws; and discuss defensive tactics, restraint techniques, and first aid procedures as used in the correctional setting. 

Criminal Science students also participate in the Lancaster SkillsUSA chapter, where they gain many valuable leadership skills and can compete at the state and national level. Recent past students have won many awards at the regional, state and national level!
