Criminal Justice Online

Introduction

The Department of Political Science & Criminal Justice now offers many of its courses over the Internet!

Online courses are for everyone. Traditional students juggling busy schedules, adult students with full-time jobs, and people thinking about starting a university education all find online courses an attractive option. If you have access to a computer and an Internet connection, you are ready to go!

A high-quality experience. Despite being a form of 'distance' education, our online course are designed to maximize student-faculty and student-student interaction, through, among other things, recorded lectures, discussion boards, live chats, and e-mails.

The same great professors, now online. Several of our full-time faculty members teach online courses (Professors Courtright, Fisher, Murphy, Richards, Rounds and Vegh) so students receive the same high-quality education and attention as they do in our face-to-face courses.

A year-round education. A full load of online courses in criminal justice are offered in the fall, spring, summer, and winter sessions, allowing students to speed up the pace of their education, if they choose.

In short, you can take a wide variety of high-quality courses, year-round, with maximum flexibility-- all while staying in your local area (or in your dorm room)!
