A certificate program is a course of study that does not reach the level for that of conferring a degree. The Crime Analysis program offers students the choice between a certificate and an Associate degree. If you already have an Associate, Bachelor or Master degree, then the better option would be the certificate. If not, then the Associate of General Studies would be best, where the crime analysis courses would become the electives for the degree. IACA certification for crime analysts is not the same as ACC Crime Analysis program. This certification is obtained after an analyst has been working in the field to demonstrate his/her commitment to crime analysis. The IACA certification occurs through a written exam.
