Description:
The Master of Science in Criminal Justice program is designed to prepare
students for professions in criminal justice while enhancing the academic
and professional knowledge of those who are already employed in the field.
The curriculum engages students in the exploration of the relationship
between theory and practice; the issues inherent in focusing on one over the
other and the complexities of searching for answers to crime problems in an
area so closely tied to social, political and economic factors. Students
study both ethics and theory throughout the curriculum, integrating the two
as they inform policy and decision-making. The criminal justice program at
Anna Maria College is approved by the Massachusetts Board of Higher
Education for participation in the Police Career Incentive Pay Program
established by the Quinn Bill. Curriculum The program consists of a required
