CRIMINOLOGY
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE IN ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
FOR TRANSFER DEGREE
(MAJOR
#R.8880.AS-T)
The Associate in Science Degree in Criminology 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 Associates in Science Degree
in Criminology (Associate in Science Degree for Transfer)
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).
To obtain the Associate in Science Degree in Administration
of Justice for Transfer, students must complete the following:
• Completion of the following major requirements
with grades of 2.0 or better
• A minimum of 60 CSU-transferable units with a
grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better.
• Certified completion of either the California
State University General Education Breadth pattern
(CSU GE), or the Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC-CSU)
pattern general education requirements.
