Administration of Justice for Transfer Associate in Science Degree for Transfer

An Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T) from Skyline College is intended for students who are interested in transferring to a California State University (CSU) campus with a major in Administration of Justice, or similar major. The Administration of Justice program seeks to prepare students for careers in law enforcement and legal studies. The courses in Skyline's program lead to transfer programs at baccalaureate institutions.

Students completing an AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor's degree. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or university or a college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a Skyline College counselor for further information on university admissions and transfer requirements. A grade of "C" or better, or "Pass" if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, is required for each course applied to the major. Major course requirements may also be applied to meet general education requirements.

Proper selection of curriculum electives further enables students to study other academic disciplines, such as political science, sociology, psychology, and public administration.

The Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T in Administration of Justice) is appropriate for students interested in pursuing careers in criminal justice, such as law enforcement, courts, corrections (probation, parole, social services, etc.), and the legal field, at the federal, state, and local levels of government.

To earn an AS-T degree, students must meet the following requirements:

1. Complete a minimum of 60 CSU transferable units;
2. Earn a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least a 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework;
3. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. A "P" (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis. Students should consult with their counselor before enrolling in a major course on a Pass/No Pass basis, as some CSU and UC campuses may have limitations on which major courses can be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.
4. Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern.
5. A minimum of 12 units must be completed in residence at Skyline College.
