A Master of Arts can typically be earned in two to four years of study. With this degree, students can choose to further their education unless the specific degree has reached the highest level of recognition. Most courses will include heavy discussions concerning the field of study and are less technical than Master of Science courses.

What is an MA in Criminal Justice? Although students who are in this program may have already covered criminal justice foundations, this degree gives students a thorough education on this subject as well as on public services. Some courses may teach topics such as political science, psychology, and communications to show how it correlates with criminal justice. Forensic science, law enforcement, and private security will likely be taught and mastered.

Students who earn this degree can learn how to access resources with crime data as well as learn how to collaborate with others. Another skill that scholars can master is critical thinking, which can help them when trying to form an opinion about any issue.

Depending on the number of credits a student takes each semester, it usually takes one to four years of education to complete an MA in Criminal Justice. Students who are interested in MA programs should contact the schools of their choice about the cost.

An MA in Criminal Justice can lead to a variety of interesting occupations. Those who are interested in furthering their career in the criminal justice field may choose to become police officers, private detectives, or state troopers. Others may consider lesser-known careers. Computer forensics investigators reconstruct evidence electronically and often try to recover deleted or hidden data, while postal inspectors investigate crimes that are related to incoming or outgoing mail. There are many criminal justice jobs that students can consider.

MA programs can be found all over the world and are sometimes accessible online. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
