Program Notes:

The Associate in Arts (AA) degree with an emphasis in criminal justice is designed for students intending to complete a bachelor's degree at a transfer institution. Students preparing for careers in federal and state law enforcement or in probation and parole need a bachelor's degree for entrance into the fields. Also, many local law enforcement agencies and state-level correctional agencies are now requiring bachelor's degrees. Although the SGE requires 6 credit hours of Arts & Humanities courses from two different disciplines, a student must complete 9 credit hours of Arts & Humanities courses from two different disciplines to meet the HutchCC Associate of Arts degree requirement.
