CJ Careers in Tennessee

The multidisciplinary nature of a degree in criminal justice allows students a wide range of career options. There are specializations in pre-law that will prepare students for the challenges of law school and practicing law. Other specializations prepare students for law enforcement, court administration, parole and probation careers and many others. Criminal justice degree programs also prepare students for careers outside the field of criminal justice, such as social work and counseling.

The state of Tennessee and the U.S. Government are the largest employers in Tennessee and many graduates of criminal justice programs in Tennessee find employment with state and federal government agencies, including the FBI, US Marshals, state police, highway patrol, the Department of Corrections and many other areas. The future is bright for those educated in criminal justice and the Bureau of Labor Statistic projects that job growth in criminal justice and related careers are projected to continue to grow.
