If your child wants to become a police....you can look into a university that has a criminal justice program...if he wants to work with the FBI or TSA..have him take as a second major..some type of psychology class...with a criminal justice bachelors degree there are many fields that he can move into...the chioces will more than he can handle....Be sure that he does not get into any type of trouble with finances or drugs...these 2 areas can keep him out of the field\n\nGood luck to you both!

University of Cape Town is top class (www.uct.ac.za).  Do NOT attempt to go to University of the Western Cape - that's a rubbish university.  Stellenbosch university ranks high will UCT.

Royal Holloway University of London had a good reputation for psychology- excellent research etc. I did a French degree there, and that's what all the psyc. undergrads said-when they weren't accusing me of wanting to sleep with my mother and kill my father.

Distance learning is good if that institution is accredited to do so. Same job oppurtunity is there. But better you do Certified Cyber Crime Investigator, not the other. Casue you are a lawyer!.

Try Hunter College, if you are looking at a NY area.  It's a CUNY school but it's got good reputation.

Metro State University, Brown College (although I don't recommend them for that program in particular), and Rasmussen.  I think the best, and probably cheapest, would be Metro State.

I stated off as a Education Major but changed in the middle and all the classes that I took transferred over to criminal Justice.  You could also try ride along with your local law enforcement that might give you a better insight.  Some cities also offer a program where you are junior reroute and get to learn all about it.

At my college, here in Marshfield, WI, they have two criminal justice programs. One is for law enforcement and the other is for the department of corrections. You should see if there is a program at a local college in your area that will work with the Hillsbourough Sheriff's Department.

John Jay is outstanding. Be sure you know what you want. Criminology is a study within sociology. Criminal Justice is a broader area of study. If you want to be a cop, consider taking something that will help you later along in your career such as business or language. Almost every college has a criminal justice program, not that many are strictly criminology. The University of Missouri St. Louis has a good one too.

I graduated from high school in 1987 and just went back to college two years ago.  I LOVE IT!  I needed time to grow and settle down before I went back to school.  I was very nervous, but the people at the college are great.  I am majoring in Criminal Justice.  I have always been interested in this field.  I have adult ADD so unless it is something interesting enough to hold my attention, I can't do it.  So far I have a 3.933 average and my lowest grade has been an A-.\n\nSo I say...GO FOR IT!!

I don't know what you plan on doing if you want to be a criminal justice major - but I'd like to give you some advice from personal experience.\n\nIf you plan on being a police officer, or federal law enforcement (FBI, Secret Service, DEA, CBP, etc), and you need a college degree - pick your SECOND favorite major besides criminal justice.  The service you pick will train you on the law enforcement stuff.  All they care about is that you have a college degree.  You can intern with a police department or something during college to display your interest.\n\nIt makes you much more well-rounded and more valuable to them if you have a degree in accounting, business, or some sort of science (particularly chemistry or biology).  I even know a guy who majored in nuclear engineering who is a police officer (and has invaluable knowledge about hazardous materials and the potential threats of nuclear terrorism).\n\nHaving another degree also makes it easier in the future if you should decide to use your law enforcement experience and enter private business.  I've been stuck in law enforcement for a little while after trying to make a career change because ALL of my education, experience, etc is in law enforcement.\n\nI've advised many college students along this same path but no one really wants to do it.  They will have to learn it from experience.\n\nI attended the school with the courses that the previous poster listed.  It is actually the University of Maryland, and I've taken many of those courses.  Please feel free to email me if you have ANY qustions about being a criminal justice major or police work.

Well, if you plan to move to America you should first decide what city or look at a few and go to their police stations and ask them what they recommend as being the best law school. But yeah, definitely talk with some officers. They won't mind at all.
