M.A. In Criminal Justice California State University San Bernardino College of Social and Behavioral Sciences

The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice is designed to serve the growing number of individuals in the criminal justice system who desire post-baccalaureate education, as well as those in more traditional public and private employers who may wish to acquire further education in criminal justice.

The degree program offers two options. One is a thesis option designed for students who intend to pursue graduate studies beyond the M.A. level and those students who have special research interests in the criminal justice system. The examination option is for those with administrative and management goals.

The program can serve a variety of student interests. It has been designed with a limited prerequisite requirement to enable students with baccalaureate degrees in related fields such as psychology, administration, anthropology, sociology, or social sciences to enroll along with students with undergraduate degrees in criminal justice.
