The faculty in criminal justice are recognized nationally and internationally for their commitment to outstanding teaching, cutting-edge research, and unparalleled service to the field. Their broad practical experiences and diverse academic backgrounds contribute to a curriculum that provides students the skills needed for criminal justice program planning, implementation, and evaluation.<br><br>The master's of science in criminal justice (M.S.C.J.) executive concentration is offered as a two-year cohort model comprised solely of criminal justice professionals as students. Students will take two back-to-back, eight-week classes per semester, meeting physically on campus once per week (a second day of the week for covering course material will be an ''alternative delivery,'' e.g., online). The course work will be geared specifically toward the professional work that students are already doing, as well as providing tools, techniques, and information that will assist them in being recognized as a demonstrated leader in their field.
