Degree: Associate in Public Service Technology

Major: CRIMINAL JUSTICE (CRJ3)

Credit Requirements: 70 semester credit hours

This program offers a well rounded study of the criminal justice system, focusing on the legal issues and fundamental concepts and principles associated with law enforcement, the courts, corrections, and juvenile justice. It is designed for students who want to either increase their employment potential, increase their advancement potential, or transfer into a senior college that accepts HGTC criminal justice courses. The program concludes with an intensive capstone course in which students will develop education portfolios and conduct activities that require the application of concepts taught throughout the program. Most Criminal Justice (CRJ) courses are offered only once each year, so following the recommended course sequence is very important.

TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES: Students successfully completing the two-year associate degree in Criminal Justice have transfer opportunities to both Coastal Carolina University through the baccalaureate program in Sociology and Charleston Southern University through the baccalaureate programs in Criminal Justice or Technology with a cognate in Criminal Justice. The specifics of these transfer opportunities are available through the universities involved and/or Dr. Dan Wysong, Academic Chair, Public Service and Legal Studies, at Horry-Georgetown Technical College. Charleston Southern University offers selected Criminal Justice courses on the Grand Strand Campus of HGTC.
