Master of Arts in Criminal Justice (MACJ)
The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Program is designed to offer students a broad, multidisciplinary and multidimensional perspective of the criminal justice system. Criminal justice is not an isolated discipline, and the program will function in the same liberal arts spirit that has characterized undergraduate offerings since the founding of the college. Humans have been faced with the issue of how to maintain order and deal with those who disobey the law for centuries. It was not until the 1960s, however, that the United States government recognized the need for higher education in criminal justice. The work of criminal justice practitioners is complex, and it requires knowledge of human behavior as well as an understanding of the issues faced by employees throughout the criminal justice system. The entire system is inter-connected, so the work of one agency has a direct impact of the work other agencies. The MACJ Program allows students to concentrate in areas of Forensic Psychology, Homeland Security, or explore other aspects of criminal justice/criminology.
