The criminal justice degree will prepare students to enter a field with many career options. Students will take courses in a wide variety of criminal justice-related topics that provide a solid foundation to jumpstart their career. Graduates have the opportunity begin their career in law enforcement (local, state, or federal) or in corrections (security, treatment, etc.). A criminal justice degree is also a solid foundation for those desiring to attend law school to become an attorney. For those already employed in the criminal justice field, a bachelor's degree will assist in career advancement and open up promotion opportunities.
Institutions offering the BS in Criminal Justice program have pre-evaluated Georgia's POST training curriculum for applicable credit for prior learning that can be used for degree completion.
