Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice

The fast-paced expansion of all areas of the criminal justice system is creating a demand for skilled workers as never before in local, state and federal systems, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Today's criminal justice workforce must be knowledgeable and skilled in every component of the system to address the public's demand for protection and services. Educated and skilled individuals are needed, from the traditional roles of law enforcement, security and corrections, to work with victim advocacy, juveniles and social services.

The Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice (AASCJ) degree program is designed to prepare you to enter the criminal justice profession in a variety of first-tier positions. You will be exposed to the foundational areas of the discipline:

  • Investigation and law enforcement
  • Law and courts
  • Corrections and parole
  • Juvenile delinquency and the juvenile justice system

The AASCJ satisfies the requirements for the first 2 years of the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice.
