Allied American University › Allied American University Blog › Accredited Online College Courses: Criminal Justice Degree Opens The Door

Monday, February 6, 2012

The minute my niece graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice, she began to work on the next step of her dream - working with at-risk youth. Her own adolescence had been a difficult one and she would be the first to tell you that she had made a lot of mistakes. But there she was, degree in hand and ready to help kids who may have made those same mistakes. Today, she is working in a group home as a counselor with her eyes on becoming a juvenile probation officer.

The path to our success and to our dreams is not always a straight one. Not all of us were great in high school, or we may have even “tried” college before without success. And it could be that those “bumps in the road” are what makes us good at that when we get into criminal justice and rehabilitation. Maybe we understand things in a different way. I don’t know, but I do know this: for those of you who want to serve the community, a degree in Criminal Justice is the open door you have been looking for. Just ask my niece or me - her very proud aunt.
