According to lead editor Carrie Sealey-Morris, "For adult professionals working in the criminal justice field, a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts in criminal justice, criminology, justice studies, or a related discipline is the way to promotion." Likewise, for young people working toward a career in criminal justice, a foundational degree is excellent preparation. Since many prospective students considering a bachelor's degree in criminal justice are already working in the field, going back to school can be a challenge. An online program provides needed flexibility and convenience, and Value Colleges' ranking will guide students to the most reputable online programs.
Value Colleges is an independent, online resource with one mission: to help prospective students find the best educational value in their chosen field. At Value Colleges, future students can find rankings for the top investments in online and residential college degrees, advice on making the best decisions about finances when in college, and explanations of commonly-misunderstood aspects of college costs.
