What is the point of a CJ degree?

Short answer, yes, you are wasting your time. You already have an AS. A certificate isn't going to do anything for you. Your next logical step is to put those 30 credits towards getting a BA in business. A lot of cops with degrees don't have CJ degrees, so it is really nothing to worry about.

I know yours is the right answer, I just loath business coarsework. Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose CJ coursework actually piques my interest for a change.

Inregards to the relation of a CJ degree and Law Enforcement... None.

To be cop, a CJ degree does nothing for you. It doesn't hurt having it though... Someday it could come in handy. I say get all the degrees and education you can.

Title says it all.

And, am I wasting my time if I choose to get a Certificate of Completion in CJ Studies (30 cr. hrs.) on top of an AS of Business? I hear differently, but it just seems like I should have coursework in the career I'm getting into...
