Administration of Justice
Business & Technology
DEAN: Stephanie Guevara
DIVISION OFFICE: B 3
LIAISON COUNSELORS: E. Dickson, V. Rogers, C. West

The Administration of Justice program has been planned to offer three areas of concentration. There are five core courses everyone must complete. Two additional courses must be selected from any of the three concentrations available. Courses are available in Law Enforcement, specializing in police activities including effective patrol services to the public. Courts, specializing in responsibilities to the public through the trial system. Corrections, where the deviant member of society is subjected to society's effort to change the deviant behavior.
Courses will continue to be developed and modified to conform to the needs expressed by the public in each of the three areas of concentration.
TRANSFER MAJOR REQUIREMENTS in Administration of Justice are available in the Counseling Center. Students should consult a counselor and the appropriate college catalog for other transfer requirements. Catalogs of California and out-of-state colleges are located in the Library and the Counseling Center. Positions for which four-year graduates in Administration of Justice are qualified are law enforcement officer, retail security, corrections, and pre-law.
A.A. and A.S. degrees can be earned in Administration of Justice. The A.A./A.S. requires completion of the five courses. In addition, the degree requires 6 units within the areas of specialization listed. Courses used to satisfy Sierra's General Education requirements may not be used to meet the 21 unit major requirement. Students planning to pursue a B.A. in the Administration of Justice program are encouraged to consult the catalog of the college to which they plan to transfer.
