About Associate of Arts - Criminal Justice
Students who wish to major in the Administration of Justice program and plan to go on to a four-year institution are encouraged to pursue an associate in arts degree in criminal justice. The coursework is designed to offer the student a two-year degree program while preparing the student for typically required courses at a college offering a bachelor’s or higher-degree program. Criminal Justice majors may complete all of their lower-division requirements at Southwestern College.
The associate in science degree in administration of justice and the associate in arts degree in criminal justice differ in that the A.S. is designed to offer those skills required for immediate employment in the areas of corrections and law enforcement, while the A.A. is intended to meet the needs of transferring students with long range educational goals in the criminal justice field.
