Online Master's Degrees in Criminal Justice

Despite popular belief, jobs in criminal justice are not limited to walking the beat with local police departments. In fact, a criminal justice education can lead to positions with federal and state task forces, correctional institutions, educational and research organizations, and the legal profession. The criminal justice field continues to be a popular career choice because of the challenge of the work, the wide variety of working environments, and the sense of personal responsibility associated with the profession.

While a bachelor's degree is an accepted credential for entry into the field, those professionals wishing to join highly specialized organizations find online master's degrees in criminal justice to be helpful. Applicants seeking positions with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Secret Service, the Border Patrol, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms will benefit from master's-level training.

Employment for criminal justice degree-holders is expected to grow steadily in the years to come, due in part to an increased demand for public safety and crime prevention. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, criminal justice graduates held about 842,000 jobs in 2004, with a large majority of those in law enforcement. And while no program can guarantee a position or salary, graduates with online master's degrees in criminal justice can often expect an advantage over other applicants.
