The micro-credential in law enforcement’s role in society and social change provides an overarching view of the criminal justice system and how to deal with criminal and policing issues as a society. The micro-credential will heighten your understanding of the criminal justice system, the underlying theory behind crime in society, and the constitutional rights of individuals, and it will provide an ethical approach to administering criminal justice, including reforms that address how law enforcement can continually be adjusted to meet the needs of a changing society.

This micro-credential is part of the personalization series. For more information about personalization series micro-credentials, see the Micro-credential Series section of the Additional Offerings page and the Micro-credential Bulletin.

Certification, State Board, and National Board Exams

Certain state certification and licensure boards have specific educational requirements for offerings to lead to a license or certification that is a precondition for employment in a recognized occupation. Prospective and current students must review Purdue Global’s State Licensure and Certifications site to view program and state-specific licensure information.

Unless otherwise specified, Purdue Global's offerings are not designed to meet any specific state’s licensure or certification requirements.

You are not automatically certified in any way upon completion of an offering. Although certain offerings are designed to prepare you to take various optional certification exams, Purdue Global cannot guarantee you will be eligible to take these exams or become certified. Your eligibility may depend on your work experience, completion of education and/or degree requirements, not having a criminal record, and meeting other certification requirements.
