### Description

The **Associate in Science in Administration of Justice for Transfer (AS-T) Degree** is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Criminal Justice majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers a Criminal Justice baccalaureate degree.

This degree is designed for students interested in an introduction to the field of Administration of Justice and for students looking to further their understanding of the criminal justice system in America (police, courts, and corrections) and familiarize students with academic, career and volunteer opportunities in the field. These courses will provide students with a solid foundation in Administration of Justice that will serve them for either transferring or in the workplace.

**In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AS-T Degree in Administration of Justice:**

1\. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
2\. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.)
3\. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better.
4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for courses accepted into the Administration of Justice major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
