A good place to start is to ask yourself how you want to serve your community and deliver justice to those in need. If you have a passion for working in high-pressure situations, our Associate's level Criminal Justice degree provides the academic foundation that many law enforcement agencies are looking for in new hires. Pursuing an online Criminal Justice degree at the Bachelor's level is ideal for students who are interested in leadership roles within the justice system. If you’ve always seen yourself working alongside an attorney in a courtroom or corporate office, one of our Paralegal program options may be the best path for you to reach your career goals.
Do you hear your calling to become a police officer? Whether you’ve already accomplished the academic or physical skills component, or have no previous experience, you can pursue the Law Enforcement program option that best fits your needs and become a police officer in the state of Minnesota. No matter what program you choose in Justice Studies, you can work and study knowing you are helping to enhance your natural skills and pursue the role you were meant to fill.
