Criminal Justice Accelerated 4 + 1 Master’s Program


The primary objective of the 4 + 1 Master’s Program is to provide an enhanced understanding of various criminal justice agencies and their roles in the justice system. Further, the degree option will prepare students for leadership roles in these institutions and provide them a required knowledge base and skillset - methodologically, theoretically, and statistically - that will enhance their professional marketability and allow them to pursue a terminal degree.

Master’s Degree Requirements Include:


The curriculum will require the completion of 44 credit hours with 11 required courses (4 credits each). A total of 8 credits (2 courses) will be taken in the final spring semester of the senior year at the undergraduate level and the remaining 36 credits at the graduate level (9 courses) over the summer, fall and spring terms.

Our alumni returning to earn a master’s degree can complete the program in one academic year as the two courses offered in the spring term of the senior year will be provided on line. The remaining 36 credits will be offered on campus during the evening.
