Master of Science in Criminal Justice

The on-campus Master of Science in Criminal Justice program approaches criminal justice as an academic discipline. Our program’s objectives are based upon the assumption that responsible public policy decision-making and meaningful reform require a broad-based academic experience.

Online Master of Science in Adult, Juvenile and Community Corrections Leadership

The department also offers a Master of Science in Adult, Juvenile and Community Corrections Leadership – offered completely online – from a leading University in the field of criminal justice. This program is geared towards administrative leaders, and future administrative leaders, that work in the fields of adult corrections, juvenile justice, and probation and parole.

Our emphasis is on a professionally relevant, and at the same time, intellectually invigorating course of study. The program relies exclusively on full-time Associate and Full Professors, each of whom are accomplished academics and have a wealth of knowledge from working with adult, community, juvenile corrections, and criminal justice agencies. It is the only program of its kind in the United States.
