This curriculum is designed to prepare a student for academic transfer to a university where requirements for a baccalaureate degree in criminal justice or corrections may be completed. Pathways include a curriculum to induce Criminal Justice and TDCJ personnel to seek an Associate of Arts Degree in which the majority of classes will transfer to a university. Students should consult with criminal justice program advisors when planning a course of study that will transfer to a University that offers criminal justice studies.

Students seeking qualifying hours to take the state licensure examination to become a Texas peace officer for local, county, or state law enforcement agencies should refer to the Law Enforcement Technology or Police Academy curriculum in this catalog.
