When I first heard about John Jay College of Criminal Justice, I honestly thought it was just a normal college. But after attending orientation and starting my classes, I quickly realized how valuable and unique it really is. John Jay College of Criminal Justice is truly one of the best colleges under CUNY, especially for Criminal Justice and Cybersecurity in NYC.
The more I experienced the campus, the more I understood its strong reputation and real-world connection to law enforcement and public service. It’s well known that many NYPD professionals and criminal justice experts have attended or trained here at some point in their careers.
What really stands out is the quality of the faculty and staff—they are knowledgeable, supportive, and bring real experience into the classroom. Overall, it’s not just a college, but a place that prepares you seriously for your future career in criminal justice and cybersecurity.
It is truly remarkable. The institution has undergone significant transformations since my graduation several years ago. The resources available to students have expanded considerably. Excellent work.
I’m genuinely surprised. This has always been my dream school, which makes the lack of response to emails and phone calls even more disappointing. It’s difficult to reconcile this level of communication with their reputation as the number one Criminal Justice school in the city.
I expected a higher standard of professionalism.

If you’re thinking about completing your four-year degree at John Jay whether you’re a freshman, a CUNY student, or transferring from a two-year college don’t walk, run. John Jay is an amazing university.
When it comes to academic support and resources, the staff and faculty truly make sure you understand the material, the workload, and the expectations. They also connect students with helpful resources when needed. There are numerous support groups available, which makes a big difference in student success.
While it’s not an easy university and you definitely have to put in the work, the support system makes it worth it. Overall, John Jay is a great college, and I would absolutely recommend it. Proud blood hound alumni!!!
A mistake attending the MPA program here. Baruch or William Paterson University is the way to go.

Even though I’ve never been here, I’ve been in several Zoom meetings with one of the advisors, Brianna, and she is the most sweetest and supportive person I’ve ever met from John Jay. I told her about something traumatic happened to me on social media two years ago, and she understood.
My banker told me that his wife went to John Jay, and majored in Forensic Science. Crazy how something like this can be impactful!
If you’re fond of any degree related to Criminal Justice, New York, Affordability, and likely winters! Then this place is for you.
