| Description | Professionals in corrections management oversee operations, staff and offenders during probation, parole, pre-trial sentencing or in prison. As leaders in departments and prisons, corrections managers are responsible for supervising frontline staff, implementing policy changes, allocating budgets, administering programs and more, depending on the position. These positions often include many of the administrative tasks associated with being a manager or executive but with the unique challenges and rewards of working in criminal justice.
The online corrections certificate program helps you develop a comprehensive knowledge of corrections management, community supervision and institutional management. The program also covers important cross-disciplines such as criminal justice, public administration and policy development. After completing the corrections certificate online, you’ll have the skills needed to effectively manage correctional populations in and out of prisons or other correctional institutions. The online corrections certificate program can also be paired with ASU Online's Master of Arts in criminal justice degree without adding any extra cost or time to completion. However, if you’re interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, the online law enforcement graduate certificate may be a better fit. | | |
