Nicholas believes that everyone deserves a second chance, even those who get in trouble with the law. That is why he wants to be a Probation Officer. Which educational path will most likely lead to his success?

Probation officers typically need a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, such as criminal justice, social work, or psychology. A university bachelor’s program is therefore the strongest educational path, and an apprenticeship or other hands-on experience with a professional can help Nicholas prepare for the work. A certification or associate’s degree alone is generally not the best preparation, while law school is not usually required.
