Is a Criminal Justice Degree worth it?

Is there any job in the criminal justice field that requires that degree?

  • so im torn between deciding whether to major in public administration(i wanna work non profit) or criminal justice(i also like criminal justice). people tell me to major in public administration becuz with that degree i can get jobs in criminal justice but it doesnt work the other way around. so is there any job in the criminal justice field that specifically saids u need a criminal justice major. examples are cop- u need 60 college credits, parole officer-psychology degree will do, detective/swat-experience as a cop, security guard-no degree needed, corrections officer-high school diploma, court officer-hs diploma, trooper-60 credits, fbi-prefers accounting degree or comp sci, us marshall-any degree,

  • Answer:

    I am aware of no Law Enforcement Job that requires a degree in Criminal Justice Specifically. You got good advice. Do the Public Admin degree; it will work for both fields.

Pretty much all law enforcement jobs, including police officer and corrections officers require at least a BA degree. Don't be fooled by the minimum requirements of a high school diploma. None of them will get hired because these positions are very competative now and all that get selected have at least a BA degree. If you torn between public administration or criminal justice, go with criminal justice.

Law enforcement; varies with requirements for education at police departments..most agencies require a four year degree; e.g. FBI, ICE, U.S. Marshall Service, Homeland Security, etc..
