The criminal justice system is a diversified occupational area with available employment opportunities on the federal, state and county levels: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Border Patrol, California Highway Patrol, municipal police departments, county sheriff s departments, federal and state departments of correction, probation and parole. The School of Justice Studies at Santa Barbara City College currently offers three A.S. degrees and one A.A. Degree in Administration of Justice. The A.S. Degree in Administration of Justice: Criminology Emphasis is designed to prepare students for a career in law enforcement-related field (i.e., police officer, deputy sheriff, probation officer) and/or to transfer to Bachelor s degree programs in Criminology, Criminal Justice, or related fields. The A.A./A.S. Degree in Administration of Justice: Law Enforcement emphasis is designed to prepare students for entry level positions in municipal

In addition, the School of Justice Studies offers an A.S.-T. Degree in Administration of Justice for Transfer. This degree will provide the foundational knowledge in Administration of Justice to students who want to earn a Baccalaureate Degree in Administration of Justice. This degree is in compliance with the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections ) and guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an associate degree for transfer, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college.

Students will be given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student s community college area of emphasis.
