What is the best college for the buck to prepare for Computer Forensics Analyst career?

I am currently in my 2nd year majoring in criminal justice in Massachusetts and have decided that I want to change/focus towards eventually getting a job in computer forensics/security. I am skilled with computers and learn fast but there are so many options including online like ITT Tech which o want to stay away from. So what would be the best choice for me to prepare/get the degree needed? And would it share any requirements as my criminal justice degree I could potentially transfer credits from? any help will be appreciated, best answer gets points.

I am not looking to finish my Criminal Justice degree, I am asking where the best place for Computer Forensics Analyst programs / degrees are, and whether or not any of my course credits from the class I've taken already in my Criminal Justice degree might transfer through since I think I take basic Criminal Justice in a Computer Forensics degree.

Thanks for any advice

Just so you're aware, if you'd like to get into the law enforcement area of forensics, you must first be a police officer. And even being an officer doesn't assure you a shot at working in the computer forensics dept. Check with local law enforcement agencies in your area. I live in Silicon Valley and that is what I've learned.

i'm presently in my final twelve months of high school, i'm making plans on doing a bachelour degree of counsel technologies/structures optimistically to grow to be a expert in the computing-industry. i'm no longer too useful yet what particular area of IT i decide directly to bypass into, yet that direction is enormously ordinary and can get me qualified for a style of jobs. My cutting-edge interest on the 2d is a checkout assistant at a community food market, won't be able to attend to get a extra exciting interest!
