Online Law & Criminal Justice Degrees

Build a foundation for a career in criminal justice administration, legal support, or public safety leadership through flexible online study with our accredited partner universities.

Overview

Career-Track Programs in Law & Criminal Justice

These programs prepare students for career-track roles supporting the legal and criminal justice systems — including paralegal work, compliance, and criminal justice administration. Global Degrees's advisors help you compare accredited programs from our partner universities, evaluate transfer credit, and apply, free of charge.

  • Flexible online format for working adults
  • Career-track focus on legal support and public-safety roles
  • Offered by accredited partner universities in the United States

Please note: these are pre-law, legal-studies, and criminal-justice career-track programs — they are not a path to practicing as a licensed attorney by themselves. Becoming a licensed attorney requires a Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and passing the relevant bar exam.
