Answer:

People looking to become a detective or to get a job in any area of criminal justice may choose to get a degree in criminology or criminal justice. The U.S. News & World Report lists the following as some of the colleges with the best criminal justice degree programs: University of Maryland - College Park, University of California - Irvine, Pennsylvania State University, Michigan State University, University of Pennsylvania, Northeastern University, CUNY - John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and University of Delaware. However, choosing which colleges to apply to, and eventually which one to attend, will depend not only on the quality of the degree program, but on more personal factors. These can include college location and tuition price, whether or not you want to be a full-time or part-time student and whether or not the college will allow for that flexibility, and the specific requirements and course offerings of each institution's degree program.
