Things in my life are pointing my future towards either lifer in the Army, or working at a Federal Agency

Im looking for where to pick up a bs in Criminal Justice in illinois. I'd be able to pick up my assosciates degree in criminal justice at a community college within a year, and transfer in as a junior.

I know UofI Chicago campus has it and Loyola, but thats all I could find.

You may not want a degree in CJ... it's pretty much worthless if your plans change and you want to go into something else. You can go for it if you are positive that you'll never want to do anything else, but if you got a different degree you'd have a larger cushion should things not work out.

Thats what im saying though. I dont really NEED a super strong degree, and im not a school type person at all. Not lookin for big or small schools.. just options. Theres gotta be some list by degree by state somewhere?

Well, I know that Western has an excellent criminal justice program. It's probably the best place to go if you are looking for that. They have all sorts of LE courses, and tuition is pretty low.
