Public Administration Track - M.S. CJ Program


Track Requirements


The M.S. degree program in Criminal Justice offers an area of specialization track to provide M.S. CJ students with an in-depth exposure to concepts and practices within public administration. The courses in the Public Administration (PA) track are offered by the Department of Public Management and Policy. The track includes 2 required courses and 2 elective courses selected from a set of options. Completion of the PA track will be shown on the M.S. CJ student’s transcripts. The 12 credit hours in the PA Track are subtracted from the 18 hours of elective courses in the standard M.S. CJ curriculum. Thus, M.S. CJ students in the PA Track enroll in 12 hours of PMAP courses, and six hours of CJ elective courses.

Students who choose to complete the PA track are automatically placed within the M.S. CJ non-thesis track, requiring the completion of the capstone seminar. The thesis option is not available for PA track students. It is the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies to substitute other courses to meet the requirements of the PA track.
