Criminal Justice, MS

at Monroe College

The interdisciplinary field of criminal justice has grown exponentially over the last two decades. The Master's of Science in Criminal Justice degree provides insight into this incredibly rich discipline and seeks not solely to explain the dysfunctional aspects of society but to contribute to the advancement of the larger society. The criminal justice professional has developed a social science arsenal that transcends the use of physical and/or deadly force. The incorporation of crime reduction strategies, the burgeoning impact of forensics, community-based initiatives, and advanced criminology theories have made the study of criminal justice exciting and gratifying.
