The goal of the Online Criminal Justice degree program at AIU is to provide a well-rounded overview of the entire criminal justice system. Students study criminal investigation, the impact of drug usage on crime, probation, and parole. A choice of electives offers students the opportunity to delve into areas of particular interest, such as crime-victim studies and issues of cultural diversity.

Students with college credits in criminal justice from a regionally-accredited college may have some of their earned credits applied towards this specialization on a case-by-case basis*.

Online Criminal Justice programs can help you learn how to:

• Apply appropriate knowledge and skills necessary for a career in criminal justice and related professions.
• Apply ethical decision-making skills to contemporary criminal justice issues.
• Apply career management skills necessary to promote, further or enhance criminal justice career opportunities. 

*Transfer credit is evaluated on an individual basis. Not all credits are eligible to transfer. Speak to an Admissions Counselor for more information.
