Criminal Justice
Associate of Applied Science Degree
This program is planned for three types of students:
- Those who plan to work with law enforcement agencies.
- Those already employed as officers who wish to advance in their jobs.
- Those preparing for advanced study in police management, criminology, or social welfare.
SCC offers both the Associate of Applied Science-Law Enforcement Option outlined here and the Associate of Arts with a Criminal Justice major. The A.A.S. will help students obtain employment in the law enforcement area of the criminal justice system. The A.A. is a transfer program for students who plan to pursue an advanced degree at a four-year college or university.
The college grants up to 15 credit hours toward the A.A.S. degree for students who already have completed the 1000-hour course at Eastern Missouri Law Enforcement Training Academy. These credit hours apply to specific courses - CRJ 110/170/224/230 and PHE- 3 credits. See an academic advisor if you have attended or plan to attend the academy.
