As such, there are many potential career opportuni\u0002ties in this field, such as: Community Agencies Crime Prevention, Private Security, Corrections, Forensic Science Services, Psychological Services, Counseling, Court \u0026 Legal Services, Policy Development, and Social Work. The Associate in Arts Degree in Criminal Justice may also be used as undergraduate preparation for transfer to a Baccalaureate program at a four-year institution. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources.
