The Criminal Justice program is comprised of professional and general education courses and is designed to provide the student with a broad exposure to criminal justice theory and process as well as contemporary issues and problems. The curriculum provides a balanced approach to both law enforcement and corrections, with supporting courses that enhance both perspectives. The program has been developed in conjunction with active professionals in the field of criminal justice who serve as members of an advisory committee. Successful completion of the two-year program described on this guide leads to an Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degree in Criminal Justice. The AAS-T option may improve the transferability of Associate in Applied Science degrees to some four-year programs.
