The Administration of Justice

States and an in-depth knowledge of California criminal laws
and techniques.
Degrees are awarded to those who complete the required

the additional requirements for the associate degree. Target
occupations typical to this major include Police Officer,
Deputy Sheriff, Highway Patrol Officer, Correctional
Officer, FBI Agent, DEA Agent, Secret Service Agent, Customs
Officer, Border Patrol Officer, Evidence Technician,
Security Officer, Loss Prevention Officer, and Private
Investigator.

procedures prior to hiring including written, oral, and
psychological tests and require the applicant to complete
additional rigorous academy training prior to being hired.
Most federal agencies require a bachelor's degree prior to
appointment. Security officers employed in the state of
California must take additional courses and pass state
approved examinations in order to meet state mandates.
