BS in Criminal Justice and Homeland Security
Austin Peay State University is one of the few school in America that offer a full-fledged BS in criminal justice (not a measly BA, mind you), with a concentration in Homeland Security. This is definitely a program to consider if you want to work as a police officer or federal agent, as the curriculum is designed with a focus on understanding terrorism (and the terrorists and their motivations), overseeing rescue and recovery operations, as well as methods of crime prevention and protection. The program has been rated one of the Best Buys in online degree training, something to consider if you can't make it to campus for whatever reasons.
Of course, for this program you'll need to complete 41 hours (of the 120 required to graduate) in the general core curriculum, and the 39 necessary for the Criminal Justice program. But it's the final 40 credits where you can really hunker down and focus on criminal justice and homeland security. The specialty courses include general criminal justice, constitutional and criminal law, criminal evidence and procedures. Moving to the international arena, you'll have courses on terrorism and the law, network security, domestic and international terrorism, and terrorism prevention and management.
The real bread and butter courses include Medico-legal forensics, criminal investigations and administrative law. Some really interesting courses Austin Peay offers are Islam as a World View (which you can use as an elective), as well as Civil Rights & Civil Liberties and American National Government. If it's your cup of tea, you can also take Ethics in Criminal Justic and Public Budgeting & Finance (but we shiver at the notion!)
The Psychology department at Austin Peay has about four courses that qualify for the BS program, including human interaction, social psychology, group dynamics and abnormal psychology. Likewise, Political Science has courses that you can count in international politics, U.S. defense policy, war (causes and prevention) and diplomacy (for those of you who want to be a federal agent working overseas.)
