This program explores key topics along with foundational theories that help explain criminal behavior and effective strategies for crime prevention and reduction. You'll develop expertise in handling extensive datasets, equipping you to make data-driven decisions in criminal investigations. The curriculum focuses on coding techniques for efficient data processing, preparing information for analysis and visualization, and examining various data types including social media content, search terms, images, and geographic data. This two-year advanced master's program builds on the standard one-year degree by incorporating either a professional or research internship. The professional track offers valuable real-world experience to strengthen your resume, while the research option lets you hone analytical, collaborative, and academic skills by working with a research team. While research internships are guaranteed, we provide guidance and resources to help students secure professional internships if preferred.
