How about ITT Tech? I am signing the paperwork now on it, but am debating, is it the best school for that course for me?? Im doing the online program..
I personally would not attend ITT Tech. Three reasons why:
1. The school is not regionally accredited (search for “accreditation” to find out more).
2. Its name doesn’t have a good rapport with academic institutions and certain (not all) employers
3. Credits are non-transferable to most colleges or universities. Basically, if you wanted to continue your studies elsewhere, your diploma and/or credits would be heavily scrutinized / not accepted (more often due to accreditation, than the name.)
Everyone is told that SOME credits are not transferable to most colleges and universities, but there are some good things about ITT Tech like the teachers have been in the field that they teach and some are still working in that field so you get hands training. I know someone who transferred to ITT Tech from a university because of the teachers.
I can’t bash ITT Tech, because I have friends who have great careers thanks to the school. However, the college accreditation issue still lies there.
A quick background story: My friend wanted to apply into a prestigious program at a great school, but he was getting so much beef from ALL the schools he applied to (denial letters), despite him being a marvel in his field. He got into one of the schools he wanted, and his professor, who was also on the admissions committee, told him that if it wasn’t for the experience and the employer (huge firm) / ITT professor letters of recommendation, that he wouldn’t stand a chance based on the accreditation of the school and the school name alone.
This is not representative of what will happen to most, as I feel that most will have a tough time getting into a fairly decent grad school program by attending schools that are not regionally accredited. I speak with professors on these and other issues, but most importantly I talk to the students who at the time of being so hasty about getting into school didn’t think / were not aware that the next 4 years will negatively affect their chances of further (quality) education — especially at schools they desire to go to, rather than school choice they would be left to pick from.
hey i am attending itt tech now and is been working out fine for me i think that you should go for it classes are smaller and instructors are great

Everest? Ya or NA on the Law Enforcement Criminal Justice AS program? How tough is it to be a police officer these days? They make it seem like an entire another school all in itself
I’m currently a student at Everest University for the A.S. Criminal Justice program. It is a wonderful program. I tried attending a community college in my area, but the professors couldn’t grasp my interest. I only lasted about 3 months there. I started at everest in november of 2010, and absolutely love it. In fact, I’m about to graduate in a couple of months. I highly recommend Everest’s CJ program. Hope this helps!
hey, i just graduated from high school and am looking to get my associates in criminal justice but am looking for the best on line program whick one can i goo plz help me!!!
Hello I am currently attending Central New Mexico Community College and I am hoping to transfer to UNM. Do you know anything about UNM and would you think it would be a good option for me? I live in Albuquerque NM. I’m wanting to get a degree in Criminal justice and to do possibly FBI or something that’s very involved “in the field”. And would an associates degree work or should I get a four year? Thank you very much!
University of New Mexico is a good to very good school depending on the degree choice. One of the best aspects is the in-state tuition. I’m not too sure how their CJ program ranks or if they even have one.
FBI requires a 4-year, or a Bachelor’s, degree. As opposed to that, many police departments require only high school education or an Associate’s degree or it’s equivalent (aka 60 semester / 90 quarter credit hours).
Thank you so much for your help!!
