Thanks for the offer. So far they've been great to work with. In the process now, of getting all the financial stuff squared away. Hope to make the classes that start sept. 15th. Not looking forward to english and math again, but what can you do?

I wish it was that easy. Well the math part is easy. But the english, I know I need to take it again, and maybe pay attention this time.

Hey buddy,
There are many online Criminal justice colleges out there to choose from. You should make sure to attend accredited colleges only. Graduates of criminal justice get good jobs such as Forensic Psychology, Law Enforcement, Private Security, Fraud Examination and Investigation, Corrections, Crime Analysis, Crime Scene Investigation and many more. Pay is very good too. For more information visit this link..

Well i am going to Cappela. It has a ground campus. And has an endorsement from the F.BI. and The Dept. of Homeland Security. And it is regionally accredited. Thats the accreditation you want to look for in schools. Also those two agencies send their people to cappela for continuing education. That is a fact. St. Leo is another good one. Also Colorodo tech is another. But this is my opinion. I am curious what the police officers on this forum would like to comment on this post.

I am currently majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Forensic Psychology at Kaplan University. Just started but it seems awesome so far.

I'm studying C.J. at American Military University. I'll be done within the next six months. I like that they offer eight week semesters so you can move at a quick pace. AMU's courses are challenging and interesting.

Due to my 'warped religious beliefs'

, I am getting my CJ degree from Liberty University.

For those don't know, it is a VERY Christian University, but despite that, it is also one of the most affordable that I found when researching schools.

This has been an informative thread for me. When I went to undergrad, online courses were just starting to become popular. Due to my "elitist" and "traditional" schooling, I have always thought that online schools such as Cappela, Kapplan, and Devry were just a "here's a degree" school.

I have always wanted to go on for my Ph.D and have been giving some thought to online, but as it has been mentioned you must do your research on the school's accreditation. If I do continue with school, I will probably choose the more traditional route but thanks for giving me some new ideas.

My undergrad and first grad degree were done in school in the 'traditional' manner. This second Master's is done one night a week for 3 hours, one class at a time. Some of the classes have been all classroom instruction, some class and online, some classes entirely online. I always took it for granted that the online classes would be easier - dont ask why. Well, it's not that they were more difficult per se, but without the formal class meeting times I found myself always saying "I'll get to it tomorrow", then going "Holy smoke, I gotta lot to do!". Additionally, I've found that many of my prof's dont care its online. "On XX of January the 25 page research and marketing investigation paper is due"

"On XX February the 25 page interview and analysis research paper is due"

I'd rather have class...

I procrastinate enough as it is...online might get me into more trouble. Nice to someone else with two Master's. What are they in, (not sure if you have mentioned this before)?

I used to teach for the online division of a college, and the students who had problems with being self-motivated to get the assignments done had the most trouble. It is a convenient way to get a degree, as well as being legitimate (many major universities have online programs now), but it's by no means an "easy" way to get one. My wife got her degree online through FSU, but she's a teacher so she has plenty of patience and self-motivation.

I don't know, I really like seeing the professors. As for self-motivation, I have no problem with that as my procrastination often leads me to do my best work. I have no idea why but they say there are different types of procrastination. Unfortunately, since I always ended up with A papers I never learned. Positive reinforcement at its finest.
