Upon completion of the degree program, graduates will be better prepared to:

  • Understand the conceptual and theoretical frameworks that inform the study of crime and criminal justice.
  • Be an informed consumer of criminal justice research knowledge.
  • Assess criminal justice problems through a rigorous research approach.
  • Conduct improved policy analysis.
  • Identify current trends in the areas of corrections, policing, criminal justice and criminology.
  • Pursue careers in research and university settings.
  • Assume leadership roles and act as change agents in the criminal justice system.

To provide a comprehensive, contemporary criminal justice program of post-professional studies, coursework is organized into four areas: theory, administration and policy, research, and special topics. In addition to content-based courses, students will complete a demonstration project that will allow them to apply their course knowledge to real world policy issues.

You will complete coursework and interact with instructors and peers through an innovative distance learning format and are not required to come to the University of Cincinnati campus. The program involves a combination of lectures via multimedia presentations, readings, online activities, discussion sessions and peer and professional support systems.

The University of Cincinnati is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
