The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (A.S.-T) prepares students to move into a curriculum at a four-year institution leading to a baccalaureate degree in Criminal Justice. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Completion of the A.S.-T degree also provides guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, along with priority admission to the local CSU in the Criminal Justice major. See the Santa Ana College Course catalog for a list of additional requirements for all Associate in Arts for Transfer (A.A.-T) and Associate in Science for Transfer (A.S.-T) degrees. Upon completion of the A.S.-T in Administration of Justice students will have a greater understanding of illegal behavior and how their behavior interacts with the criminal justice system. The student will also learn the operation of the criminal justice system from arrest, trial, corrections and release into the community.
