I've heard that the best was Sam Houston State here in Texas. Wonder how they do the ranking? Anyway I have a Bachelors of Applied Arts and Science degree with a Criminology emphsis from Texas A&M University - Kingsville.

Basicly I had to take the same number of hours in criminology as the crim majors I just didn't have to take a minor they gave it to me for my academies and military time.

Currently working on a masters in sociology with a criminology emphsis but it should be a masters in criminology because all my classes are criminology classes they just don't have an auctal Masters in criminology. They say they're working on it.

I got my BA from Sam Houston, thought it wasn't in Criminal Justice. As I understand it, they have a very good graduate program. When I was in Grad School, I studied under a professor who had gotten his PhD there in the 70s.

I have no idea how they do school rankings, since every school is the best at something, or so it seems.

I'm at Western Illinois University and they are supposedly renowned for having a great LEJA (Law Enforcement Justice Administration) program with an excellent internship program. I'm a sophimore transfer student from Black Hawk College in Moline. So far I have enjoyed my time at college.

I went to Bluefiled College in Bluefield VA. They have a CRJ program tailored to working adults. It is quite intensive, but worth it.

Entering with 54 credits or more, you can obtain you bachelor's in 13 months. It is three back-to-back semesters with 4 classes per semester. It is a lot of work and a lot of independant study, because you only meet once per week. I found it challenging and I am very happy it's over :rolleyes:

I have been accepted to the University of New Hampshire, not sure if I want to go there yet. Im also applying to Plymouth State University, Bently College, and Franklin Pierce (all in New Hampshire, Bently is in Mass.)

Wouldn't it be great if there was A a Sam Houston Institute of Technology. Then you could say I go to good old S H I T.

University of New Haven Class of 2003.

Great school academically, but socially the place is dead. Lots of perks like being able to see Henry Lee give many presentations. Also has an outstanding, very knowledgeable and experienced roster of professors. (IMO one of the best qualities a teacher in a CJ program can have)

I never did attend there, but I've been thinking of getting a post graduate degree from Morehead. I mean, just the cheer alone is worth the aggravation of going back to school.

Think about it.

I agree. I don't really need any more degrees, but I would like to have one from there!

So when the blonde coed asks, "So where do you go to school?", you can say "Moorehead." :D

Eastern Kentucky University. There is a SUPERB College of justice & safety here with majors in Criminal Justice, Corrections, Police Studies, Loss Prevention, and a few others. The college of justice & safety is attached to the KY State Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJTC) Most police officers in KY are trained at the academy here (save for a few metro police departments and State police, which will soon be training at teh DOCJTC as the facilities expand.) Classes are taught mostly by instructors from the DOCJTC, so you learn alot of real life stuff, not just the silly theory that most universities teach.
