Scottsdale Unified offers criminal-justice career program with hands-on learning and college credit (details not specified)
Summary
Scottsdale Unified District described a high school criminal-justice program that pairs classroom instruction with work-based learning, forensic and court modules, field trips and partnerships with law‑enforcement and courts; college‑credit availability was mentioned but specific details were not provided.
A program at Scottsdale Unified District (4240) gives high school students classroom instruction plus hands-on experience through work-based learning and simulations in criminal-justice careers, a district staff presenter said.
The program covers the history and laws of the U.S. criminal-justice system, forensic science and crime‑scene investigation, evidence collection and chain of custody, courtroom roles and procedures, a youth diversion "team court" experience in the second year, and corrections topics such as reentry and recidivism. "They're able to get college credit and get kind of an early start in that arena if they choose to go on to college," the program instructor said; the transcript did not specify which college credits or partnering colleges.
