• The Master’s program is designed to teach students how to conduct research in the areas of criminology and criminal justice.  The coursework gives the students a firm grounding in criminological theory, the criminal justice system, research methods, and statistical methodologies.  By completing a master’s thesis, the student will have the experience of completing a project from the beginning stages of formulating the problem, through designing the research, generating results, to drawing conclusions. 
  • This experience shapes them into critical thinkers who will become valuable assets as researchers in government and private non-profit agencies, research institutes, or as they continue their education in PhD programs.
