Bachelor of Science /MSc in Crime and Justice Studies in Boston United States | Suffolk University

For those pursuing careers in criminal justice agencies, social work, or public sector roles, obtaining an advanced degree can significantly boost your professional trajectory. Suffolk University offers an accelerated pathway where you can complete both your bachelor's degree and a Master of Science in Crime & Justice Studies (MSCJS) within five years.
This combined degree option is available to criminal justice and sociology students who have completed a minimum of two criminal justice electives. Accepted candidates will enroll in two graduate-level courses during their senior year before finishing their master's studies in a fifth year of full-time study—reducing both time commitment and educational costs. During graduate coursework, you'll delve deeper into crime and justice studies with specialized tracks in victim support or juvenile justice. Practical experience is integrated through mandatory internship components.
After fulfilling all academic requirements, graduates receive both undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously. The specific degrees awarded depend on the student's completed undergraduate program. Participants may choose to withdraw from the dual degree track and graduate with only a bachelor's degree if they've met those requirements, with graduate courses taken during senior year counting as 4-credit undergraduate electives.
