Associate Degrees for Transfer
California Community Colleges are now offering associate degrees for transfer to the CSU. These may include Associate in Arts (AA-
T) or Associate in Science (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate
degree. California Community College students who are awarded an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission with junior
standing somewhere in the CSU system and given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus or to a program that
is deemed similar to their community college major. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses.
Students who have been awarded an AA-T or AS-T are able to complete their remaining requirements for the 120-unit baccalaureate
degree within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.
To view the most current list of Clovis Community College Associate Degrees for Transfer and to find out which CSU campuses accept
each degree, please go to . Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to
meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
(CRIMINOLOGY)
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE IN ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
FOR TRANSFER DEGREE
(MAJOR -T)
The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice
for Transfer Degree prepares students for transfer into a
four-year degree at any of the California State Universities
campuses. The criminology program is the study of the
causes, consequences, and control of crime and is focused
on either the study of Law Enforcement or Corrections.
While the program’s curriculum allows for the development
of depth in one of the subject’s substantive subsystems (i.e.
law enforcement, juvenile, courts, investigations, corrections,
or probation and parole), our goal is to familiarize students
with activities which focus on their area of choice (Law
Enforcement or Corrections).
Successful completion of the Associate in Science in
Administration of Justice for Transfer Degree guarantees
the student acceptance to a California State University (but
does not guarantee acceptance to a particular campus or
major) to pursue a baccalaureate degree, in preparation to
pursue a career in the field of Law Enforcement, Corrections,
or any related field (i.e. Criminal Research, Law, Forensic
Criminology, Public Safety or Private/Industrial Security).
Program Learning Outcomes:
