Of course.  With any major you will have to take general upper level college courses including math, english, science, etc.  The only difference is the number of different general courses you will have to be take to meet the requirements for obtaining your degree.

That's really unreasonable of you to expect Yahoo! Answers to be the source of this information for you.\n\nHowever, I'll suggest where you might try.  First, YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.  Second, search John Jay College online, as criminal justice is its bread and butter.

You want to become a cop?  Why?  You need a degree in criminology and then you have to become a cop.

I would assume a general business math class, but generally whatever school they get their pre-law degree requires to fulfill their general education requirements.

I think you just have to have a Bachelor's Degree(4-year) from college, and it can be from any subject, but I would recommend criminal justice. There will be  extensive background checks and psychological testing, and some sort of physical fitness requirements.

It is best to get a degree in Criminal Justice but is not necessary. To become a sworn officer in the us you must attend the academy for your state. You can do this 2 ways: Either you can pass the written, oral and physical tests to get an employment offer from a police department, or you can be "sponsered" by a police department in which case you will need to pay for academy yourself. To get a "sponser" the best thing is to go to a smaller community and talk to the city councel or go directly to the chief. They may be able to help you fight for sponsership with city councel. \n\nThere is only one way to get into the public sector of law enforcement... the academy. You are not a sworn US officer until you have completed it.

You need to have a Bachelor's Degree - Criminal Justice is just fine, as is Education, Philosophy, Nursing, or just about anything else.\n\nThen you need to take the LSAT and get accepted by an ABA  [American Bar Association] accredited law school. In South Carolina I think USC is the only one. However, there are plenty of other law schools throughout the USA.\n\nGraduate from law school, pass the SC bar examination, get hired as a prosecutor somewhere, even if in some rural area, and after a few years go out on your own.\n\nGood luck to you

Yes, to get any degree you will have to take college algebra.  For a zoology degree you will also need to take calculus, statistics, loads of chemistry, physics, and I also had to take a biometrics course.  I managed to get through all of these even though math is my weakness.  I did so well in my core zoology courses that it evened out my GPA.  If you are weak at math, get a tutor, form a study group so other students can help,  and get help from your professor outside of class.

Yes, you can.  Having a criminal record is not going to keep you from taking the bar exam.  \n\nGood luck, and I wish you the best!

Here is some info.  Every state will have different requirements.  Be careful, some of the degree granting schools may not be totally good.  Call the stat crime lab in your state and ask them about the job.\n\nhttp://www3.sc.maricopa.edu/ajs/crime_scene_technician.htm\n\nhttp://www.spjc.edu/webcentral/acad/crimeas.htm\n\nhttp://www.cji.net/CJI/CenterInfo/fscec/cstcp.htm
