(Juniors and Seniors) Spring 2023 El Camino College Dual Enrollment Course Offerings

January 13, 2023 by Monique Aldrete

Hello DVC Juniors and Seniors,

Da Vinci is offering two dual enrollment courses for Spring 2023:

BUS 101 (formally BUS 25)- Intro To Business

(Synchronous Class)

AJ 100- Intro to Administration of Justice

(Synchronous Class)

This course is a survey of organization and management factors influencing the establishment, location, and operation of businesses. This course emphasizes the functional area of accounting as well as the legal framework within which business activities are conducted. The course also emphasizes the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) in a multicultural and globalized environment.

 

3 units; 2.5 hours lecture
Transfer CSU/UC*
Mondays & Wednesdays from 3:00pm – 4:15pm
Start Date: Monday, February 13th 2023

This course introduces students to the characteristics of the criminal justice system in the United States. Focus is placed on examining crime measurement, theoretical explanations of crime, responses to crime, components of the system, and current challenges to the system. The course examines the evolution of the principles and approaches utilized by the justice system and the evolving forces which have shaped those principles and approaches. Although justice structure and process are examined in a cross context, emphasis is placed on the United States justice system, particularly the structure and function of police, courts, and corrections. Students are introduced to the origins and development of criminal law, legal process, sentencing, and incarceration policies.
