Students have the option to complete the degree fully online or on the Schenectady County Community College campus. Learn more about the offsite program partnership at SCCC >

Students complete coursework in each of the six areas identified by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, a key professional and certifying organization in the field of criminal justice studies.

Crime has changed. It has no borders. It threatens to enter every part of our lives. So crime prevention and criminal investigation have changed, too. A Strayer bachelor's degree in criminal justice combines traditional study of criminology and criminal behavior with practical, modern skills like crime mapping, report writing and forensics. Today, many police and corrections agencies require education beyond their entrance exams. You can develop the communications skills, information literacy, abstract thinking, and critical analysis that will allow you to take the next step in the criminal justice system. Advance your career in fraud detection, juvenile crime, computer forensics or any one of a number of emerging criminal justice specialties with a Strayer degree.

With a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice, you will gain an in-depth understanding of criminal behavior and its impact on society; examine how police, courts, corrections and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security work to prevent and control adult and juvenile crime locally, nationally and internationally; and apply insight and analysis from various disciplines to help detect, prevent, solve and prosecute crime.

Entry Requirements

Prospective undergraduate students must hold a high school diploma or its U.S. equivalent.
