Our program equips you for your professional journey by providing training in key areas including policy studies, administrative practices, research methodologies, statistical analysis, crime trends, and criminological frameworks. You'll select between two specialized pathways. The thesis-oriented path is ideal for those aiming for advanced doctoral studies in criminology, criminal justice, or similar disciplines, requiring you to develop a thesis with faculty guidance. Alternatively, the non-thesis pathway caters to working professionals, offering complete online accessibility - an excellent solution for those unable to attend on-campus sessions. This route delivers specialized instruction in research techniques, program assessment, and policy examination, culminating in a demonstration project while strongly recommending practical experience through field placements or internships.
