The 2+2 Online Criminal Justice program is designed for students who want real-world skills and practical training to step confidently into the field of criminal justice. Built in collaboration with professionals in law enforcement, corrections, and the court system, the program focuses on applied learning, scenario-based experiences, and direct exposure to the operations of the justice system.

This flexible 2+2 program is tailored specifically for working professionals and transfer students seeking to complete their bachelor’s degree on their own schedule. Students who have earned an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree can seamlessly transfer into the program and complete the final two years fully online without compromising the quality, rigor, or real-world relevance of the curriculum. Students with Applied Associate degrees (A.A.S.) are not eligible for this program due to curricular alignment requirements.

Through online coursework that mirrors the engagement and depth of in-person classes, students explore the interconnected roles of law enforcement, the courts, and corrections while building hands-on skills applicable across all areas of the justice system. A strong emphasis is placed on understanding criminal behavior and the motives behind it both key competencies for modern policing, investigations, and the legal system.

Graduates of the program will be job-ready, with strong knowledge of how the criminal justice system works and practical experience to match. Whether a student pursues a career in law enforcement, court administration, corrections, private security, or enhances their current career in one of these fields, they will be prepared to make an immediate impact on a schedule that works for them.
