Ask Your Question
Question
Answer
- Students unsure exactly how far they want to go with school. Earning an associate's degree in criminal justice could facilitate entry to a police academy or directly into the workforce as a corrections officer or security guard.
- Those who know they want to pursue a bachelor's or master's degree, but aren't sure which direction to take. If you earned an associate's degree in criminal justice, you could enter the police academy and continue earning a bachelor's degree to qualify for work as a probation or parole officer, juvenile probation officer, private investigator, or forensic scientist.
- Students whose high school transcripts and/or SAT scores bar entry into a bachelor's degree program. Earning an associate's degree often provides the student a fresh start. This is positive as long as the associate's degree GPA is strong.
