A Criminal Justice degree is more than just a matter of record.
A safer community starts with people like you — so arm yourself with the education to get the job done by earning your Criminal Justice degree from University of Phoenix.
Flexibility and convenience are important to you, which is why taking just one 5 or 6-week class at a time will help you balance coursework and focus on just one subject rather than juggling many. Balancing work and school can be challenging, but finding time for both can be a bit easier if you earn your criminal justice degree online or on-campus. Our online programs allow you to collaborate with classmates from diverse backgrounds in an interactive, virtual environment.
You want a reputable program with classes that cover relevant material. The curricula in our criminal justice degree programs is designed with the shared knowledge of criminal justice agencies, external membership relations with the International Association of the Chief of Police, FBI National Academy Associates, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives and the National Sheriffs’ Association.
You want your education to be as unique as you are — which is why we offer many electives that can fit well into your own degree path.
