Description

The program mission of the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration is to equip adult learners with a fundamental understanding of the nature of delinquency and crime, criminal law and procedure, the goals and essential components of the American criminal justice system, and to teach basic management and administrative skills to run organizations in this area. The program also strives to familiarize students with current trends, research techniques, and technological advances in the discipline. Such broad-based knowledge enables learners to understand and evaluate the kinds of societal needs and issues that are impacting criminal justice practice and reform and to become effective problem-solvers and administrators in the criminal justice community.In this context, the BSCJA program attempts to realize three major objectives:- To advance, educationally and professionally, practitioners now working in the criminal justice system. - To increase educational and training opportunities for adult learners who are interested in criminal justice professions. - To equip graduates who choose to pursue master's, doctoral, and law degrees with a solid foundation in criminal justice.

I had a great experience at UOP. I do agree there were a couple of facilitators who gave away good grades, one in a humanities class and the other I'm not sure. Although in all of my core classes my facilitators were very knowledgeable and did care if I learned in their class. I never received a free A in any core class. I graduated this year and am already working. I'm putting my degree ...

Garbage School
October 18, 2011
Honestly has got to be one of the worst decisions ever. I have unenrolled and decided to go with another college. I wish I can talk to my other friends and convince them that their degrees from UOP is basically just garbage. It's just an ACTUAL piece of paper, more like toilet paper you wipe your butt with. The reality is that UOP pumps out degrees like Octomom pumps out babies. The true education that ...

I would like to say my military advisor was awesome. He would check up on me Often. My other 2 advisors were great too. When I had issues in the beginning holding onto my funding she was amazing at helping me get in charge of my own funds so I would be the one to pay them with my loan/grant money. She has been absolutely amazing the whole way. I see it like the military, ...

Not worth it

Just a note I was in the Associates of Criminal Justice program.. it just isn't an option above. Ok this school sucked. Plain and simple. First off they, like someone else mentioned, rush you through the admissions process, harass you once they think they are on your mind, and then neglect you once you are in. They will also tell you anything to get you going. Like that all your credits will transfer and you ...

I think UofP is a great school and have had nothing but great experiences with all of instructors, classes, and schedules. I have almost completed my Associates degree and will be attending for my Bachelors as well. I know there are a lot of people who have attended this school and have had a bad experience, but here is a little advice, DO NOT change your degree throughout find what you are really interested in ...

Hi, my name is John. I don't understand where all the strong hatred for University of Phoenix stemmed from. It's true that University of Phoenix has its major flaws, but what college doesn't? I am a former student of University of Phoenix, and I must point out that the instructors I had are comparable to any decent professor at any well respected college. The people who flamed University of Phoenix for not having ANY TESTS, ...

Ok, but not reccomended

I just recently decided to go to a different school because of several issues. I was working on my Associates degree and decided that I wanted to change it to a B.S. They told me that I could not change my program. Anyways, the main reason that I decided to leave was because the instructors are not on the same page as the student. On several occasions I would ask a question and the response ...

Never I mean NEVER ever attend an online College it is a Joke....... Back in 08 I made the mistake of attending University Of Phoenix for 1 semester and hated it. Needless to say I have paid for that mistake for the last 4 years. They took out a loan with out my permission which took for ever to get took care of. Now I have to have a Official Transcript from them to attend the new college that I want to attend and UP wants $140 fort that since I did not complete more than one year. ITS A RIP OFF!

University of Phoenix  has been amazing. My finance counselor and academic counselor have been great and i have 6 months before i finish up my bachelors. These people that are bashing UOP probably didnt work hard and ended up failing the classes. I am great great grades and i am learning so much. I am really glad i joined UOP and i suggest everyone should try this University out.

I love the UOP! Those that trash the school may not have been able to handle it. The classes are 5 weeks long and each class is packed with information. There is a lot of work that is expected from each student. Many people were discouraged after my 1st year because he/she was not able to keep up with the work.I am almost done with my degree in Criminal Justice and I am staring to get job offers. If you are a dedicated person, then the UOP is for you; it's a no-nonsense uni.

There are many people out there who think this school isn't any good, but I am sorry to those people who obviously want an easy ride. I have gone to UofP for 20 months and only have two months left until I finish my Associates degree and I have not had any problems. I have had the same financial advisor as well as academic advisor... Maybe if people wouldn't change their major 800 times in a year and expect they will have a good experience things would flow much easier and smoother. To anyone thinking of attending UofP online or in person, I think its a good idea for you if you plan on following through with the degree you planned to start off with...

I do not understand how the University of Phoenix has recieved bad reviews. I am currently a student there and I love it. I have four months until I graduate and I have only had two problems with the staff. From day one til now, I would say having problems with two people, not that bad. The instructors are willing to help, it is affordable, and the classes are flexible. To one of the former students on here who said that they are not flexible; it is college. We are suppose to have our s*it together. It is known from day one that no assignments will be accepted after a certain time. Situations in life happen, trust me I know I dealt with them while attending during my associates degree. The great thing is, it is all online! You can work at your own pace, meaning you can get all of the work done ahead of time. This covers any situation that may arise. I do not see anything wrong with this college. Two thumbs up from me.

I graduated with my Associates in Criminal Justice back in 2007 and am now attending UOP for my Bachelors Degree.  I have found that they are a very professional and competent staff.  They are also the oldest online university, making them the most experienced.  The Instructors are knowledgeable and accredited in their fields.  The assignments are interesting, challenging, and applicable, but you have to be committed to providing at least an hour or more most everyday with reading work and assignments.  They have studied what an adult-learner is able to accomplish.  It is possible to be successful in getting a degree though; otherwise, how could they achieve such a high graduation rate?  UOP provides countless resources to help their students succeed in the classes, too.  UOP practically hands you the degree in that respect.  No hard work involved in trying to figure out the format of papers, or finding materials for research, remembering study techniques, or even figuring out required software for classes, etc.  They make it where you don't have to concern yourself with anything but your classes, taking care of most everything else e.g. (financial aspect, transfer credits, easy user interface, abundance of on-site quality peer-reviewed articles for research papers, APA fromatting generators for difficult sourcing formats in Reference pages, Workshops on writing papers, researching, and navigating their university website, etc.)  They are accredited and well-known.  They also have a good reputation among business institutions.  Excellent school for an adult learner with a job and family.
