Laurea Magistrale in Giustizia Penale

Be prepared to uphold the law in a leadership role. 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 already employed. The curriculum engages students in exploring 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 to inform policy and decision-making. The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education approves the Master of Science in Criminal Justice program for participation in the Police Career Incentive Pay Program established by the Quinn Bill.
