Administration of Justice

Protection is one of the fundamental purposes of government, and administration of justice is the means to deliver fair and equal protection under the law. Learning the principles and practices of administration of justice is a fundamental first step to a career in law enforcement or the legal profession.

Administration of Justice is a multi-disciplinary program that seeks to educate students on the many aspects of justice administration—from the human, social and moral problems to the larger scope of justice systems. Students can earn an Associate of Science degree and or prepare for transfer to a four-year college or university in order to earn a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree.

Occupations

With more than 500 law enforcement agencies in the state, demand is steady for criminal justice and law enforcement personnel. Graduates can also pursue careers in the private sector as security officers and private investigators for companies and individuals, or undertake further studies in social work, law, or technology to work in adjacent fields.
