View Program Video Criminal Justice Associate DegreesCriminal Justice Associate in Arts DegreesThe Associate in Arts (AA) is the standard degree issued by Blinn College. This is normally a stepping stone when transitioning into a four year institution for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS). The AA Degree allows for an area of concentration (Criminal Justice in this case) which consists of 12 hours of coursework. The area of concentration does not appear on the diploma. The AA Degree with a Field of Study increases the intensity of the area of concentration to 21 hours of coursework. Both of the aforementioned degrees are not eligible for assistance from the Carl Perkins Basic Grant.
Criminal Justice Associate in Applied Science DegreeThe Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree is awarded through the Division of Technical and Workforce Education. This degree is designed to teach skills specific towards Criminal Justice occupations after graduation. While the AAS degree is not as acceptable as the AA degree, Blinn does have an articulation agreement with Sam Houston State University, which allows a student to transfer a majority of their Criminal Justice courses towards a BA or BS. After obtaining an AAS, students may transfer their courses towards a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Science (BAAS). The specialization of the AAS degree will appear on the diploma. In addition, high school students may earn college credits for this degree through the Tech Prep Articulated Credit agreement. Students pursuing an AAS are eligible for assistance from the Carl Perkins Basic Grant.
