Two graduate degree programs are offered:
These programs are designed for professional workers (law enforcement, corrections officers, security personnel) and others who desire to further their knowledge of the criminal justice system, security operations, and related disciplines. They provide an opportunity for the professional worker to broaden and deepen his/her perspective in the criminal justice profession and/or the administration of security programs. Problem solving, leadership, critical thinking, and the prudent application of theory to practice are skills that these programs are designed to foster.These graduate programs are developed to meet the need for specialized training for criminal justice and security personnel suited to their unique functions. These studies can be pursued on a full- or part-time basis. Furthermore, a three-semester sequence has been arranged within the academic year to provide occasion for expediting the completion of program requirements. Close faculty-student contact is maintained to assist each student in formulating realistic individual objectives and in selecting course work to attain them. Program arrangements are flexible so that individual needs can be served.
At least 50 percent of students enrolling in the two graduate programs are employed full-time, often in the field they are pursuing. Course scheduling and specific, individualized programs are designed to take advantage of students’ backgrounds and to permit students to pursue the master’s degree at the pace most reasonable to themselves. All programs may be taken in the late afternoon and/or evening, full- or part-time.
