    Online Course Programs in Criminology

    Students who want to earn credit towards a degree but do not want to attend classes on campus to do so can benefit from the convenience offered by an online course. Online courses typically offer the same experience and coursework as an in-person class, but the material is delivered through a web-based classroom.

    What is an online course in criminology? This class is an introductory survey of the terminology, theories and practices of the criminal justice discipline. Students can also expect to delve into the classification systems and trends that define criminology, and approaches to crime resolution and reduction in various environments will likely be examined and critiqued. These studies contribute to students’ cumulative understanding of crime and its implications in both local and global contexts.

    There are many benefits to be gained from such a class. Students can prepare for a career in criminal justice, but more importantly, they can develop critical thinking skills that will likely last a lifetime.

    Students who are concerned about the cost of enrollment should consider applying for scholarships and other aid. An admission office is the best source of information for these resources as well as cost of attendance estimates.

    Taking an online class in criminology can lay the groundwork for a career in the field, too. With knowledge of crime patterns, criminal justice practices and criminology theories, you may pursue a career that allows this knowledge to be put into practice. Some of the jobs that may offer this opportunity include police officer, probation officer, youth worker, social worker or forensic detective. These jobs all provide the chance to develop your criminology skills and help your community while doing so.
