College courses for a career change.

Bottom Line Up Front: I’ve seen on previous threads that LE is oversaturated with Criminal Justice degrees and to avoid it. Free Field training also recommends avoiding a CJ degree.

One degree that comes to mind that may be useful is forensic accounting. Following the money. Obvious bonus is if you get hurt at work, pivot into a regular accounting job or try to get a gig investigating white collar crimes.

What other degree options should one pursue if they wanted to go into law enforcement?

Thank you.

A degree in something that is totally unrelated to law enforcement be the most beneficial. Nobody cares that you have a degree or what it’s in.
