CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice is a college associated with the City University of New York and located in midtown Manhattan. The school is a liberal arts college that focuses on criminal justice. Students who attend are expected to gain a well-rounded liberal arts education as they study criminal justice. Students satisfy general education requirements and can gain an Associates Degree, a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree.
I had a difficult time contacting the school and was not able to go on a tour, sit for an information session or meet with an admissions officer. Unfortunately I ended up on hold for more than 30 minutes and was given a number that was not in service. This was disappointing as we have a number of students interested in criminal justice. Luckily, my brother is an English professor at John Jay. I did interview him on video and he’s working to put me in touch with the admissions director at the school. Sometimes it is not easy to contact a school. In your search you have to decide whether or not these organizational issues are a reflection of the college or just a fluke…If you want to learn about the school you may have to try harder or change your approach! I do know that there is an Open House in November. I’m going to work to be in touch with John Jay College of Criminal Justice’s Admissions Office.
