Online Programs in Criminal Justice

American Military University is one of the nation's premier online schools preparing criminal justice professionals through higher education.

Our criminal justice programs are among the most popular at the university, bringing you peer interactions and an expanded network of criminal justice professionals who are dedicated to safeguarding their communities and nation. Courses in this program are taught by highly credentialed and experienced instructors, many who have served as sheriffs, legal counsel, police chiefs, military, and homeland security and intelligence leaders.

AMU designed the online curriculum in consultation with industry advisory councils and specifically for criminal justice and law enforcement professionals, managers and administrators. Your criminal justice courses will include topics in U.S. law enforcement, criminology, investigations and community relations.
