Questions & Answers

I have 25 years of experience with Law Enforcement, will any experience be able to go towards the credits required and what is the fastest amount of time I can expect to graduate online with a Bachelor's? Thanks in advance, Chris
Submitted on: July 1, 2012

Chris,

The best resource for you to look at would be CREDIT, the college credit recommendation service sponsored by the American Council on Education (ACE). Schools on their network have agreed to look at work experience that has gone through their approval process, and consider it for college credit. We cannot estimate how quickly you will be able to earn your bachelor's degree without knowing how much credit a particular school would give you for your work experience, as well as any previous higher education you might have that did not result in a degree. Good luck with furthering your education.

Can you have a felony and go to school for criminal justice?
Submitted on: April 22, 2012

Though most online schools will probably accept you to a criminal justice program even if you have a felony on your record, you will have your work cut out for you when you begin looking for a job. The criminal justice community is more biased against felons than many other professional communities are.
