A criminal justice program usually features courses that teach students the skills and knowledge needed to work in law enforcement. Courses in a program may include policing, criminology, cybercrime, ethics, administration, border security and corrections.

A Juris Doctor (JD) is an advanced course of study designed for students interested in future careers in the legal world. Students usually attend a law school, and the degree can often be combined with other advanced degrees.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
