If you’ve always been interested in the criminal justice system, this program is designed just for you.

About the Program

Our Administration of Justice (AJ) program will provide you with a comprehensive education in the study of the criminal justice process, including law enforcement, the court system, and corrections. You’ll learn the causes and effects of crime and delinquency, law enforcement procedures, such as securing a crime scene, gathering evidence and providing testimony, and balancing individual rights with the protection of society.

You’ll be taught by our Administration of Justice faculty members, who have real-world experience as FBI agents, police officers, and attorneys. You’ll also be able to network and learn from classmates who work in various law enforcement positions, including police officers, deputy sheriffs, military police, corrections officers, and security officers.

Our Administration of Justice program also has articulation agreements with the other University of Hawai‘i (UH) campuses. This means if you choose to transfer to another UH campus to earn a bachelor’s degree in Administration of Justice or a related field, the transition will be smooth and easy.

Some of our Administration of Justice courses are offered through distance education (on-line). However, the hands-on courses are offered in-person.
