<p>Hi everyone. My friend, a junior now, will be applying to college next year. She is planning to major in Criminal Justice, Police Science, and/or Criminology. Also, she is looking for colleges with her major in New York and California. Do you know any schools with good reputations and rankings in these undergraduate programs? Thanks for the recommendations.</p>
<p>Fresno State has an excellent Criminology program. It also is unique in having a working crime lab on campus.</p>
<p>Is your friend a resident of California? If so, UCI offers an excellent program in that field.</p>
<p>Do you know any recommendations for criminology programs in New York? I heard people at school say SUNY and NYU have good programs for this field. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!</p>
<p>John Jay has the best program.</p>
<p>Would advise your friend to choose an affordable (i.e. no debt or very low debt) college if majoring in CJ. Starting salaries are not high for entry level jobs in most CJ fields . My S2 graduated w/ a CJ degree last year but is working in another field that offered better pay.</p>
<p>@PackMom, Please help me recommend affordable colleges! Thank you!!</p>
