Associate of Applied Science Degree
Catalog Year 2006-2007
Location Offered: Prescott, Verde Valley
The Administration of Justice Degree program is an interdisciplinary program of study which prepares students for a broad range of employment opportunities including law enforcement, corrections, probation/parole officer, and social services in the courts or community agencies. In addition to preparing students for entry-level employment, this degree program is appropriate for individuals already employed in the justice field who are seeking skill upgrade and promotional opportunities, and individuals preparing to transfer to a four-year college/university with a major in justice studies.
Students preparing to transfer to a four-year college/university should contact an advisor in the area of justice studies at the transfer institution in addition to meeting regularly with a faculty advisor and/or counselor at Yavapai College. Regular advisement is important to build an educational plan and ensure maximum transferability of all general education, major and related courses. Arizona State University, Arizona State University-West, Grand Canyon University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona all offer baccalaureate degree programs in justice studies/administration of justice.
