Public Service Technology: Administration of Justice

Associate of Applied Science Degree:

Administration of Justice

 

The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Administration of Justice offers a broad educational foundation, as well as specialized focus areas in law enforcement, criminology, corrections, and industrial security. Students who complete this degree are prepared for careers in various areas of law enforcement, with opportunities for leadership in their chosen fields.


For those who wish to continue their education pursuits beyond the associate degree, Tidewater Community College has entered into formal articulation agreements with Old Dominion University and Saint Leo University. Under such agreements, students may transfer all qualified course work into one of these institutions. Individuals interested in this option are encouraged to consult with a TCC advisor early in their academic program, and to review the ODU and/or St. Leo catalog and transfer guide for additional details.
