The Department of Criminal Justice provides advanced degree programs culminating in either a Master of Science (M.S.) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Criminal Justice. The M.S. program features three specialized pathways: Applied Criminal Justice, Criminology, and a Plan C alternative tailored for professionals in criminal justice and social service fields. This curriculum strengthens students' abilities to comprehend, collect, evaluate, and interpret research data within criminology and criminal justice domains. The program focuses on examining, assessing, and interpreting crime causation and the corresponding reactions of the justice system. Core coursework includes fundamental studies in theory, policy, and research methodologies, alongside three key concentrations: 1) criminology, 2) law enforcement, and 3) rehabilitation systems. Participants may select one specialization area.
Additionally, the program includes instructional training for those interested in teaching at the collegiate level.
