Criminal Justice or Law Enforcement
#1
Which is easier? I need two credits.

I have read that a person should study for both, and I will still do that, but has anyone done both? Can you tell me which one is more general knowledge stuff?

I need 2 credits to graduate and yes, I want to take the easy route. ha

I did both and they both seemed equally easy and based on common sense.

Which school are you using it for? I can tell you that with Excelsior College, you will get a letter grade for Law Enforcement but not for Criminal Justice. If you are using it for Excelsior College and you think you will do well on either one, it would be good to use Law Enforcement since it will boost your GPA. If you think you would not do so well, Criminal Justice might be the way to go.

Additionally, Criminal Justice is considered a Social Science course while Law Enforcement is an Applied course. Depending on whether you intend to apply for graduate school or other programs, a Social Science course might be more impressive to future admissions departments as it is in a more academic category.

I wonder if TESC takes either of these as gen ed (social science) courses. If so that could be an easy 6 hours.

I have taken the Dantes Criminal Justice test, and passed without studying at all. With that being said, I have a background in law enforcement so it was basically general stuff.

Overall, it was a fairly easy test.

I am using it for University of Phoenix.

Where do I find hard copy info to study? I am having a really hard time sitting at the computer doing the study questions here.

Thanks!

I've taken the Law Enforcement just using the IC for Law Enforcement it seemed pretty easy. I have not taken CJ since I decided to take the class instead.
