Jjay Description

There are so many different specialties in criminal justice, but so many schools only offer it as one subject. CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, located on Tenth Avenue in New York City, recognizes that there is too much to study to fit into a single major.

Programs include Computer Information Systems, Correctional Studies, Criminal Justice, Criminology, Culture and Deviance Studies, Fire Science, Forensic Science, Justice Studies and Security Management, among many more.

The scholarships available at Jon Jay College are need-based and academic-based for incoming freshman and new transfer students. Students who fill out the FAFSA may qualify.

If you make an appointment with a career counselor, you can receive advice, search job and internship postings, attend information sessions and workshops, and discover career fairs filled with potential employers.

On top of all of those services for students, John Jay College also offers athletic programs, a children’s center, counseling services, housing, a peer ambassador program, student activities, a theater, and a women’s center. It’s everything you need for a well-rounded college experience.
