The Master of Science degree with a major in Criminal Justice is offered to serve the needs of several different groups of students: (1) pre- and in-service criminal justice personnel seeking a career-enhancing education; (2) those interested in teaching or research in the profession or higher education; and (3) those interested in preparing for a doctoral degree. The degree program may be tailored to meet the needs of individual students.
All of our graduate course offerings are web-based. Graduate programs in particular cater to the needs of the working professional, allowing 24 hour access, advanced topics and projects, and peer networking with others working in the field.
