Is a bachelors degree in applied science of criminal justice enough to become a Crime Scene Investigator?
I would like to respond to your question so that you don’t end up in the same position that I am currently in. First off I would like to say that from my first hand experience you can NOT do much with a bachelor degree in criminal justice. You see I just received my bachelors degree in criminal justice with the understanding that I would be able to work in forensic science. However, almost near the end of my degree I found out on my own that I would not be able to work in forensics with my degree and from some research I found out the exact areas realistically that I could find a job in. You can work in law enforcement, probation, private investigation, corrections, possibly federal government positions with the right qualifications. By the way I still have yet to find a job in my career field or any job for that matter. Hope this helps, sorry to disappoint!
