We seek to instill in students a deep understanding and appreciation of civic engagement and responsibility, and a thorough understand of the American system of justice and the role individuals play in it. We seek to prepare students to enter transfer institutions fully prepared to succeed in Administration of Justice programs, or to succeed in the criminal justice workforce.

The curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in the fields of law enforcement, probation, parole, security, and related criminal justice fields along with related technical occupations. The two-year program combines instruction in corrections; law enforcement, and security with general education courses. The program has been authorized by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and the Board of Corrections to offer certain technical and specialized courses.
