Online college for criminal justice: law enforcement courses?


let me just give you a brief description of my situation:
Im 19 just about 20
I work full time 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Mon.-Fri.
i have bills to pay and a bunch, a bunch of other responsibilities.

i want to become a police officer mainly a town cop possibly state police im not totally sure but what i am sure of is i want to be a cop.
i don't have time to travel to a college and i cant give up on my job and the hours im working due to bills and etc.
i've been looking up some onlnie colleges and i filled out to get more information about their classes and i dont want to speak with some one yet i just want to recieve information such as in emails or information in the mail.
and im not rich im deff. gunna need to use financial aid to go to college so i cant go some place exspensive.

so mainly what im asking is
where should i even begin looking for online colleges? (theres so many)
and which one would be best?

it'd be great to get an answer from someone that's been in the same situation

but to all that help THANK YOU!

I started this about two years ago. You can run a search for online colleges that specialize. You will find that the top ones that answer charge $290 to $320 per credit hour. Doing the math for a two year degree, this will eventually cost you about $20K.

I eventually started with a local community college. The majority of my CJ classes are all on line with just a couple of tests having to be done at the college itself. The difference is I am now paying $65 a credit hour. It will take a little longer, but I am a married homeowner, so the monetary cost is more important than the time element.

Regardless of which way you go, two things to make sure of. First, whatever college you chose is "accredited". Ask them. They will tell you. Also, make sure that any credits you receive are transferable. Again, ask them. Some colleges are fully accredited but are not transferable. This limits you severely if you have to stop classes for any time and restart again with another university.

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you

I started by college career the traditional method - got hired and stopped. Picked up some college credits when I attended the Northwestern University Police and Staff Command and took my credits to Western Illinois University who arranged an independent study program for me to finish my last 25 or so hours.

A happy owner of a BA from WIU.

It is a good way to go if you have discipline and time - it takes about 2x the effort doing it that way.
