Can you add a Concentration after you've already graduated?

Something to keep in mind with the cert: I've heard from credible sources at TESU that you need at least 50% of the cert to be UL courses; Study.com only has 1 UL CJ course, so you're going to have to find 2 more somewhere (AOJ-381 Victimology and Criminal Behavior & AOJ-310 Criminal Law).  Not sure where you can find UL courses inexpensively, so I think this is going to cost a lot more than it should.

If that's the case, I think you're better off going to UMPI and getting the CJ degree there.  It will be faster and cheaper than the Cert at TESU.

I did take a look at Study.com and it looks like just about everything matches up one for one. The required courses are
AOJ-102 Intro to Criminal Justice -- matches study.com CJ 101: Intro to Criminal Justice
AOJ-280 Forensic Science -- matches study.com CJ 106: Forensic Science
SOC-291 Criminology -- matches study.com CJ 104: Introduction to Criminology
AOJ-381 Victimology and Criminal Behavior -- matches study.com CJ 381: Victimology
AOJ-310 Criminal Law -- matches study.com CJ 107: Criminal Law (but LL instead of UL)
They list three electives of which one must be taken
AJO-303 White Collar Crime -- matches study.com CJ 301: White Collar Crime
AOJ-363 American Juvenile Justice System -- matches study.com CJ 305: The Juvenile Justice System
AOJ-484 Public Policy, Crime and Criminal Justice -- matches study.com CJ 103: Public Policy & Criminal Justice

So this leads to a few questions
1. Will TESU accept CJ 107: Criminal Law as meeting their AOJ-310 Criminal Law requirement?
2. If so, would I still need to take an additional UL to make up for Criminal Law being LL?
3. Do I need to take two extra courses so half are UL?
4. If so, could I add UL elective courses that weren't mentioned? (e.g. study.com CJ 306 Research Methods in Criminal Justice.)

To be honest the only thing that really worries me is that they won't accept the LL Criminal Justice course as meeting their UL Criminal Law requirement. That could be a deal breaker.

If they do accept it, but require half of the credits to be UL then that wouldn't be a big deal. It looks like I can do everything at study.com, and I should be able to complete it all it two months. The cost is $200 a month plus $70 per course beyond two courses a month, so if I have to take an extra course or two that would still be a total cost of $610/$680 ($200 x 2 + $70 x 3 or 4) plus the $1250 residency waiver from TESU.

BTW, I noticed that study.com has an Advanced Criminal Law course, but it hasn't been ACE or NCCRS approved yet. Hopefully that happens soon and makes all the above questions moot.
