The Associate of Applied Science - Law Enforcement (AAS) degree option gives students greater flexibility in coursework, having more electives, a greater number of criminal justice courses and fewer academic courses than the Associate of Science Degree. Graduates from an accredited college or university holding a baccalaureate degree may receive an AAS degree in Law Enforcement upon successful completion of thirty (30) semester hours of criminal justice courses and by completing appropriate leveling courses as determined by the Dean or Faculty. The degrees and certificate in this field offered by Midland College and the courses needed to achieve these credentials are included in the following sections.

The following is the suggested sequence of courses for these degrees and certificates.
