Criminal Justice College Career Information

Typically, when people think of job opportunities in the field of criminal justice, the first thing they consider is law enforcement work. While there are certainly many job opportunities in law enforcement, other jobs options are available to persons with a criminal justice degree. Before you start your job search, it is always a good idea to explore the different options available to you. Several resources can assist you with your career planning. Most college campuses have career planning or placement centers that will work with students to help them explore their interest and assist them with job searches.

The number of qualified criminal justice candidates exceeds the number of job openings in Federal and State law enforcement agencies but is inadequate to meet growth and replacement needs in many local and special police departments.
