New Online Master’s in Criminal Justice Policy

SIUE will offer an online master’s in criminal justice policy beginning fall 2018. The program will provide advanced study in the core areas of criminal justice operations for practicing professionals and those planning a career in criminal justice.

The program combines a strong foundation in theory and methods with relevant courses in cybercrime, human trafficking and civil liability in criminal justice.

“Many of our alumni who are currently working as patrol or probation officers want to continue their education in order to improve their promotion opportunities,” said Kevin Cannon, PhD, chair of the Department of Criminal Justice Studies.

Real-world experience will be emphasized through an optional capstone project in which the student will propose and develop a policy, procedure or program to benefit his or her home agency.

For more information, visit siue.edu/grad/criminal-justice or contact Kevin Cannon at kcannon@siue.edu.
