Lamar University, University of Maine Augusta, SUNY College of Technology-Delhi, West Texas A&M University, and Fort Hays State University occupy the top five spots on the list, which is based on factors such as cost of attendance, each program's reputation in its field, and return on investment. Other schools include Westfield State University, Indiana University, Sam Houston State University, New England Institute of Technology, and Colorado State University. 

Robert Hand, lead editor for the ranking, explains College Choice's ranking further: "For students interested in the safety and general welfare of public communities, a bachelor's degree in criminal justice is worth considering. Bachelor's programs in the field can include coursework in law, psychology, and sociology in addition to security-specific training. While the average pay in criminal justice fields is lower than some others, many workers express high job satisfaction associated with maintaining public safety. Furthermore, the schools on this particular list allow students to complete their studies remotely."
