The Criminal Justice Program offers an Associate of Science degree to prepare students for transfer to a four-year university as a criminal justice major and adheres to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Field of Study Curriculum for Criminal Justice.

Additionally, the department offers an Associate of Applied Science degree to prepare students for employment within the criminal justice system such as corrections, and the coursework includes elements of juvenile procedures, probation and parole, institutional and community based corrections, criminal law, police systems, court systems, criminal procedure and criminal investigation.

PJC also works in partnership with Texas A&M University - Commerce allowing PJC students to transition into a bachelor of arts applied science (BAAS) in which students complete 85 hours at PJC instead of 65. The 85 hours are transferred to TAMU-C, which only an additional 36 hours required at the university, all of which are offered online.

Additionally, licensed peace officers and correctional officials may receive academic credit for previous training.
