Program Options

Associate Transfer Degree

Criminal Justice A.A. (Plan 13AB)

Academic degree program designed to prepare students for transfer to a four-year college or university for completion of the bachelor's degree. Choose this option if you are interested in going on to law school after earning a bachelor’s degree, or if, after earning a bachelor’s degree, you wish to pursue a career in law enforcement, probation or parole services or juvenile or adult casework with offender populations or victim’s advocacy.

  • 有兴趣从事联邦执法、缓刑或假释服务、青少年或成人案件工作或受害者辩护工作的学生应该攻读转学学位。刑事司法职业越来越重视大学教育。
  • Students in this program take fewer criminal justice courses (about 15 to 18 credit hours) with the balance of their course work in general education courses that are required for a bachelor's degree.
  • Transfer students should begin researching which college or university they would like to attend soon after starting their coursework at CLC.

Some of the course requirements for the career and transfer degrees overlap, particularly in your first year of coursework. Upon completion of your second semester at CLC, if you have not already done so, you should decide which path you intend to follow (the transfer A.A. OR the career A.A.S. degree).
