Question by : What Is The Best College To Study Criminal Justice In california? In The West Side?
I am only 14, but i have been planning on college since 3rd grade.
Lately I have been thinking more and more on what college I want to go to. I do understand that when i apply to college i must apply to at least a few. Although, I am wondering, does anyone know the best college for Criminal Justice and/or training to be in a police force type occupation would be in California? In the West Side?

there’s a school called westwood college that is a technical college (3 years to earn a bachelors) around the la area, and i know it has a criminal justice major. beyond that, i don’t know. i only learned of the school when i took a law enforcement class in high school when i was interested in the police field.

Hi Cyn
Westwood was not a good suggestion – it is a for-profit school that is very expensive.
In reality, the best majors for a law enforcement career are forensic chemistry or forensic accounting. It is not a matter of catching the bad guys as it is of getting them convicted.
Look at the programs at Santa Monica College and at LA City College – good places to start and the tuition won’t leave you with enormous debts. If you do well at either, you certainly can go on for a 4 year degree.

What do you mean by the West Side of California? Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco?
Look up the websites of both the UC and the CSU colleges and find a campus that has that major.
