AA/AS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

This program readies students for work in policing, corrections, and related fields, with instructors who bring real-world experience. Two degree options are offered: an Associate in Applied Science for those seeking immediate employment, and an Associate of Arts for those planning to transfer toward a bachelor's degree. The program is accelerated, and full-time students may complete it quickly. Both degree paths include a clear transfer route to a four-year college. Students learn from faculty who combine academic knowledge with experience in the field and build practical confidence from the start. Working professionals can use a crosswalk program to receive credit for earlier training, which lines up with the state basic law enforcement academy and state patrol academy. It is aimed at officers, deputies, and troopers who want a faster route to a degree.
