Definitely man. A degree is a degree to them. In your interview emphasize the work you put into getting your degree and working with other people and any other ways you can tie it to law enforcement. It'd be a good idea to go online and see if they have practice tests online for you to take. I went to the CA website and found them so I knew what I'd be seeing before I took them. Usually you will be ranked throughout the process so the higher you can place yourself, the better. I'm ranked in the top 20 in both of agencies I applied to so barring anything unforseen I have decent chances of getting picked up. The higher you place after the written tests will dictate how soon they call you to continue the process.
