Looking to get started in the criminal justice field without committing to a full degree just yet? Northeast Texas Community College offers a Criminal Justice Occupational Skills Award (OSA) that includes just three fast-track courses designed to enhance your job readiness and marketability. Whether you’re exploring a new career, returning to school, or adding skills to your resume, this short-term award gives you relevant, real-world knowledge.
But it doesn’t have to stop there. The Criminal Justice OSA is more than just a standalone award—it’s a strategic first step that feeds directly into NTCC’s full Criminal Justice degree programs. That means the credits you earn now can carry forward as you pursue an associate's degree at Northeast.
