"My online experience with DeSales was excellent. I work a full-time job and another part-time job. Being a Criminal Justice major and working in the Criminal Justice fields, you know you have shifts that you may work, odd shifts or nights, and the classes really accommodated my work schedule as well as the curriculum. It helped me excel in my field. I chose DeSales because of their online program. I looked at several other programs and felt that DeSales best fit my needs. I’m already working in the field, so the curriculum helped me transition into a higher paying job."
