The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice program prepares graduates for positions of responsibility in the criminal justice system and related areas, facilitates the professional and intellectual development of in- service students, and provides foundation work for those planning careers in research or teaching.

Understanding of police, courts, corrections, prosecution agencies, and the criminal-legal profession as integral components of the criminal justice system;
- Knowledge of research and research methodologies needed to understand and improve criminal justice and criminology; and
- Understanding of criminological theories for studying issues of crime and behavior.
