Congratulations! If you represent a college or university that is included in this list, please collect your seal below.

Deciding which college to attend can be a daunting task. For many, it will be the most important decision that they make in their lives. To make an informed decision, you have to consider a lot of variables, such as cost of attendance, financial aid, student/teacher ratio, academics, student life, and more. These factors will either positively or negatively impact the quality of education that you receive.

Do you want to acquire a master’s degree in criminal justice, but don’t know what institution you should attend? Well, if you are as ambitious as I was in my late teens, then you want to attend a top school, instead of an average or mediocre one. Fortunately, we have already done the legwork for you. To help you find the right school for your interests and goals, we’ve compiled a list of 2022’s best master’s in criminal justice programs.

What institution did we forget? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

Part of the master of professional studies degree program, the coursework entails 33 hours of credits, including 12 in the criminal justice coursework. Degree candidates must finish a research paper and pass a holistic examination in the semester during which they graduate.

Learners with an undergrad degree in a field other than criminal justice or sociology may need to take an additional 15 credits.

  1. Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI

The master’s degree in criminal justice at Michigan State combines case studies, work in the field, and a multidisciplinary approach in the classroom.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
