East Texas Baptist Now Offers a Criminal Justice Degree Online

Marshall, TX, May 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The field of criminal justice is growing exponentially. To keep up with the times and the demands of future workers, East Texas Baptist University has decided to offer a Criminal Justice online degree program to service those unable to attend traditional classes. The new online degree program is an important step toward making East Texas Baptist a more competitive online contender.

Located in Marshall, Texas, East Texas Baptist has been a quality liberal arts institution dedicated to excellence in education for almost 100 years.
