DESCRIPTION
|
|
Unlike some other distance learning course offerings, the School of Criminology master’s degree in Criminal Justice Studies is a fully integrated part of our larger graduate program, which is consistently ranked among the top programs in criminology and criminal justice in the United States. Our distance learning courses are taught by the same people—mainly regular faculty—who teach in our on-campus graduate and undergraduate programs. When you enroll in the master’s program in criminal justice studies, you will be working with faculty who are leading scholars in their fields.
State-of-the art technology supported by the facilities of one of the most technologically advanced universities in the nation enables students and faculty to interact much as they would in a regular campus classroom—but from anywhere in the world, and on a flexible schedule that allows students to tailor their class participation to the demands of their own jobs and families. A comprehensive support system guides students through every phase of the program.
