The path to a four-year degree in criminal justice got a little bit clearer for local students with a new articulation agreement between Catawba Valley Community College and Lenoir-Rhyne University.
The partnership will allow qualified students from the community college to transfer into the university’s Bachelor of Arts Criminal Justice program as juniors.
“With a bachelor degree they can go to the federal government or to state, so it gives them a stepping stone from here to there,” CVCC criminal justice instructor Seth Bailey said.
