MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CRIME AND JUSTICE STUDIES
The Master of Science in Crime and Justice Studies degree combines intellectual breadth with a pragmatic, career-oriented focus. It is designed for mid-career working professionals as well as those who want to enter the fields of probation, policing, corrections, juvenile justice, victim advocacy, court and offender services, substance abuse, restorative justice and criminal justice policy.
The Crime and Justice Studies Program is housed within the sociology department, situating the study of crime and justice within one of its foundational disciplines. This allows for an emphasis on the theoretically rich field of crime and justice and on issues of critical importance to criminal justice, such as ethics, class, race and gender, organizations, communities, and family systems.
