Current law enforcement officers:
Northland Pioneer College offers a unique service to current law enforcement officers who have completed AzPOST certification since 1990. If the officer completes 20 credit hours at NPC, he or she may submit proof of AzPOST training academy certification, dated since January 1, 1990, and receive, at no additional cost, 30 hours of law enforcement credits toward an NPC Associate of Applied Science degree in Administration of Justice Studies.
If the residence requirement (20 credit hours at NPC) is not completed, the student may still submit proof of AzPOST certification, and pay just 50 percent of the in-state tuition rate for evaluation and transfer of AzPOST credits to his or her NPC transcript. See an NPC academic adviser for details!
There are no areas of specialization in the Administration of Justice Studies degree.
