This program is designed as a starting point for those who wish to pursue an Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice. A high percentage of criminal justice students obtain jobs in the field both while they are pursuing their degree and after completion of the program. The Associate of Applied Science degree also serves as a solid base from which to pursue a four-year degree and law school. If you plan to transfer to UAFS upon completion of your coursework at NPC, please note the following UAFS requirements.
