National American University Criminal Justice students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but all have a sense of civic duty and an eye for the law. (And, their favorite television shows will probably include CSI and Law & Order somewhere in their top five.) Whether you’re looking for a degree to have a leg-up for that next promotion or want to enter a new field where you know you’ll make a difference, National American University can help you get there.

We offer two types of degrees in our Criminal Justice Department. The Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice is a multi-disciplinary program that features coursework in forensics, criminal law, cybercrime, and homeland security and terrorism. Courses vary by location, and some courses may need to be completed on-line, depending on the campus you’re attending. The Associate Degree in Criminal Justice prepares students for careers in corrections and law enforcement. Some students also move on to a Bachelor’s program in Criminal Justice.

The Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice at National American University provides students with the necessary skills and education to pursue highly sought-after careers, including police detectives, security guards, gaming surveillance, supervisory roles in corrections, and more. Students will enjoy coursework in similar disciplines as our Associate degree but at a more concentrated level.  The Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice is offered at a number of different National American University campuses, so be sure to contact your local campus to learn more about the program.
