Administration of Law & Justice Associate in Applied Sciences Degree Plan

The Administration of Law and Justice program offers three areas of concentration:

  • Law enforcement
  • Juvenile Justice
  • Private Investigator

Each concentration is specifically designed to introduce and prepare students for positions in that area. Successful graduates may be eligible for criminal justice careers in law enforcement, municipal police and private police; parole, probation and counseling; juvenile justice, diversion, court security and administration; private security, loss prevention and private investigations.

General education courses are usually distribution courses and will normally transfer to all major bacalaureate institutions in Washington. Students wishing to transfer to a four-year institution should contact that institution to determine their requirements when planning an academic schedule. Assessed placement at college-level English and reading is required for most ADLJ courses.
