American Sentinel University Offering Online BS Criminal Justice Degree
Unique program includes three concentrations
Aurora, CO (PRWEB) Aug. 14, 2008 – American Sentinel University recently introduced a new BS Criminal Justice program. Now, those seeking a career in the profession have an online option for earning their degree.
“This program opens a new area of study and career options for our students, building upon our current strengths in technology and management,” said Dr. Richard W. Oliver, CEO and Provost of American Sentinel University.
Students graduating from the Criminal Justice program will be prepared for a wide range of career options, such as pre-law, law enforcement, administration, investigation, social services and human resources. Students can choose a general Criminal Justice program or tailor their education experiences through one of three concentrations: Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice Administration or Cyber-Criminology.
These concentrations, and the Criminal Justice Program in general, complement other areas of study already offered by American Sentinel University. The Cyber-Criminology concentration leverages the school’s Computer Security courses and the Administration concentration leverages the school’s management programs.
“This Criminal Justice Program is a perfect example of technology integrating into nearly every career field,” observed Oliver. “We’re very excited about the development of this program.” Military personnel will find the new Criminal Justice degree program with its unique concentrations especially relevant. “We designed this new program to meet current and future needs of military personnel, especially men and women of the Air Force”.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, American Sentinel University offers 24 online degree programs (with no residency requirements) and more than 230 courses. The university has over 40 full-time and adjunct faculty, of which more than half hold a Ph.D.
Founded as a Vanderbilt University Technology Company, American Sentinel University delivers to their students the competitive advantages of unique online education programs focused on the needs of high-growth sectors. The university is accredited by the U.S. Secretary of Education-the recognized Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council.
