Overview

The innovative Criminal Justice curriculum offered at Webster University calls on students to apply critical thinking skills and decision-making processes, and will enhance technical skills and increase analytic capabilities.

Key Facts

Students will also learn how to analyze crime control methods, explain the interdependence of institutions in the criminal justice system and broader social, legal and socioeconomic environments, and understand how diversity issues can affect the operation of criminal justice organizations.

Further your knowledge by adding a 12-18 credit hour certificate to your MS in Criminal Justice. The Administration of Justice certificate provides advanced knowledge of crime control systems. The Cybersecurity – Threat Detection certificate explores and analyzes types of information and data threats, and how forensic investigations are conducted post-attack. The International and Regional Security certificate addresses conflict, violence and security issues in the international arena.

Add the MA in National Security Studies

Webster University offers the MA in National Security Studies through the History, Politics and International Relations Department. The National Security Studies master's degree complements the MS in Criminal Justice, and may be completed as a dual degree or sequentially.
