Overview

The Criminal Justice and Criminology course from East Tennessee State University seeks to prepare graduates for entry into justice-related occupations, advancement to upper-level positions, and/or continued study at the doctoral level by providing them with the tools necessary to conduct, review and implement the latest research in the field.

Students enrolled in the M.A. programme come from a variety of academic backgrounds, ranging from criminal justice to the natural sciences. Though individuals with an undergraduate degree in criminal justice or a related field will likely be better prepared initially, those from other disciplines tend to feature similar success rates.

Key facts

Graduates of the M.A. programme have gone on to have great success in their chosen career path. Some have been employed in leadership positions with federal and state organizations. Others have chosen to remain within their communities and serve in law enforcement, corrections and other related fields. Many of our graduates choose to continue their studies at the doctoral level and currently serve as faculty members at universities and colleges across the country.
