Students will learn real-world, practical applications that they can implement immediately in their own careers, in their organizations, and in their communities. Courses cover the most critical issues in 21st century policing: community engagement strategies and tactics, law enforcement response to mental health and officer wellness, and crisis management leadership.

UJ Accelerated is the first and only criminal justice leadership program in the nation that creates a customized plan for each student – incorporating key elements of experience and ongoing training requirements – finally making earning a degree attainable:
Even if not required for entry-level police work, a college degree is either required or strongly recommended for advancement into the supervisory ranks by many departments. Competitive hiring processes often award extra points to college graduates. Some agencies even offer incentive pay for those with college degrees.
So, whether it’s always been a personal goal to get a degree, or you’re seeking a foundation to enter the profession, or you’re looking for career advancement or to earn more money for your family – we understand that you can’t learn everything behind closed doors of a police academy. Finally, there is a resource that can help you achieve your leadership aspirations.
Criminal justice professionals — or those looking to enter the field – who want to develop a competitive edge, hone leadership skills, become more effective change agents, prepare for success in testing processes or simply stay on top of the most current challenges facing policing in the 21st century.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend a private, liberal arts university. That's why we give out $10 million a year in scholarships. Plus, 100% of our full-time undergraduate students receive some type of financial aid. You read that right, not one of these students pay full tuition.
Our team goes above and beyond to ensure you both understand financial aid and can make the most of your financial aid package. When we say we'll walk you through the process of applying for and managing your aid, we mean it.
Financial aid - aka money that helps you pay for college - is broken down into five different categories at UJ. Although each form achieves the same goal, they're very different. Our team can help you navigate the different forms of financial aid available to you and maximize what you can receive.
Think of scholarships as free money to pay for school. They are generally awarded based on merit or special qualifications (your GPA, a talent, your interest in a field of study), and they don't need to be paid back. UJ alone gives out $8,000 minimum to each full-time undergraduate student.
Like scholarships, grants don't need to be repaid. Unlike scholarships, they are based on financial need - not merit - and are typically awarded by the federal and state government.
With loans, you borrow money from the government or private lenders. That means, these need to be repaid, often with interest.
