Associate of Applied Science Degrees and Certificate Programs
The Associate of Applied Science Degree and the Certificate programs in Crime Scene Investigation and Law Enforcement Administration are available exclusively to Arkansas law enforcement personnel who are actively employed within a criminal justice organization of the State. The University of Arkansas at Monticello in partnership with the Criminal Justice Institute of the University of Arkansas System offers these certificate and degree programs. To successfully complete a program, students must take special courses through the Criminal Justice Institute along with general education courses from UAM. Due to the dynamic nature of law enforcement training, this catalog may not reflect the most recent special courses or certificate and degree requirements established by the Criminal Justice Institute. UAM may elect to award certificates and degrees based on the most recent requirements from the Criminal Justice Institute so long as students meet the general education requirements established by UAM. Contact the Criminal Justice Institute or the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences for more information.
