The Associate in Science degree in Criminal Justice is designed to prepare the student for a full range of career opportunities in the field of criminal justice. The degree provides a strong background for employment with any of Southwest Florida’s many criminal justice or public service agencies, including police departments, sheriff’s offices, prisons, areas of juvenile justice, or private industry.

The Law Enforcement or Corrections Academy Bridge Electives are designed for students currently certified by Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission in Law Enforcement and/or Corrections. Upon successful completion of specified electives, qualified students are awarded college credit for their academy training (15 credit hours for Law Enforcement – 12 credit hours for Corrections – 16 credit hours for Dual Certification). The program does not apply to prior recipients of academy (bridge) or portfolio credit.

Students intending to transfer to a Bachelor’s degree program are strongly encouraged to consult with the transferring institution regarding the choice of elective credit.
