Nashville State Community College A.A.S. in Police Science (Police Administration)

Degree Advancement Program: Advance from an A.A.S. into a Bachelor’s Degree

  

Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies

The Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies allows the student to design their major around two areas of interest. Students can use their NSCC Police Science courses as one Area of Emphasis, and take MTSU’s Criminal Justice courses (which will be offered at NSCC-SE) as their second Area of Emphasis. They can also use MTSU’s Criminal Justice courses as electives. Or, the student can work with their MTSU advisor for a wide selection of course options.

Completing an A.A.S. in Police Science at Nashville State Community College builds an excellent foundation and preparation for a bachelor’s degree program. Sixty (60) credit hours may be transferred from NSCC and credited toward a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies available through MTSU’s University College. MTSU will offer a variety of Criminal Justice courses on the NSCC-SE campus or you may take courses online to allow your studies to fit around your work and family responsibilities.
