Criminal Justice @ Columbia Southern?

I just stumbled across a thread at usnews.com's e-learning board inquiring as to whether Columbia Southern's criminal justice program is any good. It struck me that there are a couple of CSU grads here that are police officers. Of course, other comments are welcome.

 

I can't speak for the criminal justice program, but the business program was challenging and rewarding. It took just under a year and a half to complete my MBA. I did a concentration in Public Administration and let me tell you my Public Budgeting and Financing class was nothing short of a complete nightmare in regards to difficulty.

I've heard positive things about CSU's criminal justice program. We have a undercover narcotic's agent at our agency that's close to finishing the bachelor's in criminal justice at CSU and appreciates the academic challenges and flexibility of the program.

I know CSU just had their M.S. in criminal justice approved by the DETC last year.

 

From what I understand of their school, it is a solid program. I am getting mine at Kaplan University's College for Professional Studies but a strong consideration was CSU. I don't have any regrets, but I wouldn't hesitate to enroll in CSU with the exception that they have recently undergone or will undergo a tuition increase very soon. September I think.

 

The criminal justice administration bachelor's degree program at Columbia Southern University is very solid.

Sixty credit hours that cover everything from CJ theory to application. Statistics and Constitutional Law were very difficult courses to get through. CSU has recently added a Terrorism course to the degree program. CSU also has a MS in criminal justice program now as well.

They use Blackboard and are currently upgrading to include course discussions. Most courses require section exams, a term paper or project and proctored final exam. The professors were very attentive and helpful when I went through.

It is important to note that CSU is nationally accredited by the DETC; so prospective students should ensure that a nationally accredited degree would meet their future needs.


I would not hesitate to recommend the BS in CJ program at CSU.
