John Jay offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. In addition to offering majors in criminal justice, forensic science, forensic financial analysis, and many other disciplines, John Jay offers minors in Law, Security Management, and other disciplines, as well as certificates in Dispute Resolution and Spanish Legal Translation and Interpretation. Minors and Certificates are a great way to distinguish yourself from others when you apply for your first job.
It is not just classwork that defines who you are and what you are interested in; you can learn as much from internships, volunteer experiences, and through doing service. At John Jay you’ll have access to professional opportunities, academic resources, and SASP Transfer Student Programs.
