The B.A.S. degree is built on a “2+2” platform. During the first two years (64 credits), a student completes an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Law Enforcement Administration. In the final two years (64 credits) of SMSU’s B.A.S. program, a student takes a 42-semester credit major (described below) in Law Enforcement Administration, and 22 semester credit hours (SCH) of general education and related courses. A large number of the courses in this program will be available via the Internet.
