There are several online colleges and universities offering Business degrees and Criminal Justice degrees with an emphasis on Government. A distance learning course makes it possible for working adults to study to be a Government professional at their own pace, while maintaining current employment.

Federal, state and local Government agencies employ thousands of qualified individuals to help maintain efficient and less costly operations. An online degree in Government can prepare the graduate for many exciting and important careers. Depending on the specific emphasis of study, graduates may apply for positions such as public administrator, tax examiner, legal office administrator, government contract manager, health services administrator, homeland security officer, judicial worker, police officer, correctional officer, and many others.

For entry-level positions, such as fire fighter, a high school education may suffice; however, most Government positions require a minimal college degree such as an Associate of Science degree (AS) in Criminal Justice, a Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in Government Contract Management, or a Master's of Business degree (MBA) with an emphasis on Government Administration, to name a few.

In today's rocky minefield of employment, Government positions are considered to be the gold standard. Government workers are generally well-paid, with excellent benefits and pension plans. They may also enjoy a stable work environment, with low turn-over and few layoffs.
