MA/MS in Criminal Justice and Corrections

This graduate degree serves students who want advanced law enforcement roles or careers in applied research and analysis for criminal justice agencies and organizations. Doctoral students can meet its criteria while working toward their Ph.D. Admission is competitive, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a place. Applicants need a bachelor's degree, a strong upper-division GPA and a good grade in a research methods class, plus transcripts, recommendation letters and a statement of purpose. The program is offered on campus and online, and a flowchart outlines the course sequence. Applicants should prepare their documents and submit them through the graduate application portal. Language requirements for international applicants can be met through several tests or through earlier study in English, and the program coordinator can answer questions.
