AA/AS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

This transfer degree in Criminal Justice follows state law on transfer pathways and is designed for students heading to a California State University. The degree guarantees admission to the CSU system but not to a specific campus, so students are reminded to look at the particular Criminal Justice and general education requirements at each CSU they are considering. The major begins with a required core that includes an introduction to criminal justice. Students also complete the Cal-GETC pattern and keep a minimum overall CSU GPA of 2.0. The catalog lists the program length as 24 months, and federal financial aid approval is shown as in place. Prospective students can read the full course list and a suggested plan of study on the catalog page at Victor Valley College. Because requirements differ between pathways, it makes sense to talk with a counselor early and map out each term before enrolling in courses.
