Associate in Applied Science–T – Adminstration of Criminal Justice

90 Applicable College Level Quarter Credits

The Associate in Applied Science-T is not designed to transfer universally, but rather it is a dual purpose degree designed to prepare students for work and to transfer to a limited number of degree programs at some baccalaureate institutions. AAS-T degrees are technical in nature and the general education courses, though the same as general education courses included in universally transferable degrees are fewer than in the Associate of Arts and Sciences or the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA). Programs that offer this degree option will have articulated a transfer agreement with one or more four-year institutions.
