The Administration of Justice program is your gateway to making your community a better, safer place to live. We provide options for three different concentrations in the police force: Law Enforcement, Courts and Corrections.
Are you a hands-on person, aiming to fix problems before they start? In Law Enforcement, we will teach you to specialize in police activities, such as effective patrol services. In our Courts concentration, you will learn to serve the public through trials and court procedures, improving and maintaining a fair, impartial justice system.
In Corrections, you will provide a key role in working with deviant members of society, helping them become responsible, law-abiding citizens. In order to ensure the best education possible, our Administration of Justice department is constantly being developed and modified to meet the best standards possible.
The Administration of Justice program offers three areas of concentration. Each area has its own core classes everyone must complete. In addition, a minimum of six additional units must be selected from the degree concentration to complete the degree program.
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.
