The Criminal Justice Associate in Science degree is for the student who intends to transfer to a four-year college or university to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. The field of criminal justice encompasses law enforcement, investigations, court and administrative services, corrections, private security and juvenile justice. Each area requires individuals who can speak and write well and who can work well with colleagues and the community.
