Associate of Science in Criminal Justice - Field Study
This degree plan is designed for students who plan to major
in Criminal Justice and transfer to a four-year college or university.
The Field of Study courses will constitute a semester credit hour transfer
block to any public Texas four-year college or university with a Criminal
Justice major. Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses
transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. However, a receiving
institution can require additional lowerdivision courses that may be necessary
for specific degree programs.
Students should plan very carefully and work
with an advisor. Students will gain basic knowledge about law enforcement,
the courts, corrections, and criminal law. |
