AA/AS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

The Criminal Justice pre-major at St. Philip's College offers an introductory base in legal studies and is taught face to face. It belongs to the Communication, Languages, Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences department and connects with the college's public service institute. Coursework traces where criminal law came from and how it is reasoned, then moves to its rules of substance and procedure. The state higher education board has approved the curriculum. Credits are assured to count toward criminal justice bachelor's programs at Texas public universities, which is the pre-major's stated purpose. A program director and the department office are listed for students who want to explore the field, choose courses, or learn how credits will carry over. Prospective students can use the contact details on the program page to ask about courses, scheduling, and next steps.
