Criminal justice programs in Michigan
42 criminal justice programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
23 schools offer these criminal justice programs, and Michigan has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Police officers protect lives and property, and detectives gather facts and collect evidence of possible crimes. The education needed ranges from a high school diploma to a college degree, and new officers usually attend a training academy before they start.1
In Michigan, 23 of the 42 programs take students without a high school diploma, 16 ask for a diploma or equivalent, 2 ask for earlier courses first and 1 asks for an associate degree.
By kind, the 42 programs here are criminal justice, corrections or police science (associate degree, 36 programs), law enforcement and investigation certificate (2 programs), criminal justice certificate (2 programs), crime scene and forensic science (1 program), and 1 more of one other kind.

Where the Michigan criminal justice program numbers come from
Which Michigan criminal justice programs are on this list?
These are the criminal justice programs Michigan approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Michigan offers.
How the prices and results of Michigan criminal justice programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
