University of Phoenix Criminal Justice Degree
About University of Phoenix Criminal Justice Degree Programs:
A degree in criminal justice qualifies a person for just about every position in the field, with the exception of judge and attorney. The University of Phoenix recognizes this and has designed its bachelors programs to provide the range of skills required in the industry's many specializations.
Parole and probation officers usually hold degrees in criminal justice. Often those are masters' degrees, available from the University of Phoenix in their masters' program in The Administration of Justice and Security. There is just one bachelors' degree in criminal justice currently available, because it suits so many of the criminal justice occupations.
Many community law enforcement agencies want to see some college education accomplishment in their recruits and in virtually every case those degrees are either an associates or a bachelors' degree in criminal justice. The University of Phoenix offers both, a great online option for returning veterans and others who want to join a police department or sheriff's department but need to qualify for entry by studying at night.
The University of Phoenix also offers single course work in this field, for police officers who need additional credits to qualify for a sergeant's or lieutenant's exam, or for those who need specific educational credits to qualify for some other law enforcement position.
