The Bachelor of Science (BS) and the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in criminal justice and criminology (CJC) are similar in their course requirements. The only difference is the BA requires students to complete 12 credit hours of foreign language as part of their required electives. Professionals in criminal justice have exciting, fulfilling career choices in the corporate world and public service. Options include professional positions in probation departments, law enforcement agencies, homeland security, private investigative agencies, correctional and rehabilitation institutions, parole offices, and community treatment and service settings. A bachelor's degree is required for most state and federal positions and is becoming increasingly important for municipal and county positions. Personnel with less than four years of college may still be hired in some municipal and county agencies, but career advancement may be limited.
