Criminal Justice Associate in Arts (LAW-AA)

This curriculum prepares students for transfer to a four-year institution after completing two years at Pensacola State College. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Criminal Justice, this program may be attractive for those planning to enter law, behavioral and social sciences. Students planning to enter this program should contact the Department for assistance in planning for their careers.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Business Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
