I have a traditional degree and am working on a traditional masters, but I was a criminal justice minor and wished I completed my 2nd bachelor’s at the same time. I saw Penn State had an online campus (degree says Penn State, not Penn State Online) with a Criminal Justice Major. I just applied. Seriously, I really wouldn’t care if it said “online” or not. an Online degree is better than NO DEGREE. And, I figure having 2 degrees is better than 1…online or not. Penn State is pretty reputable, so I think it was a good thing. I travel a lot with my job, so I figure it was a great thing to do while I’m sitting around in a hotel room for weeks at a time with nothing to do after dinner.
