You can complete your major requirements, add a minor, and take some electives to earn your degree in as a little as two years, or register for classes part time and complete the degree at your own pace. You can minor in Law, Anthropology, Criminology, Police Studies, and other programs while you complete your Criminal Justice B.S. and prepare for the next steps in your legal and law enforcement career.
