Overview
Working closely with CCJ’s core faculty, students develop a tailored program to meet their individual academic needs and career goals. The Criminology and Criminal Justice degree program from Portland State University is optimized for students to complete in six academic quarters (two years), but the program is flexible enough to allow for a longer timeline if needed. Through coursework, collaboration with faculty, peer interactions, and community-based learning experiences, students graduating from the program are prepared to assist criminal justice agencies, problem-solve, and give informed solutions to crime and justice issues.
Our mission envisions students and faculty as mutual partners working to discover, share, and problem-solve criminological and criminal justice issues inside and outside the classroom. CCJ Masters alumni continue this partnership with faculty as they successfully find jobs in agencies, research departments, and academia. Unlike Masters programs at many other universities, the CCJ graduate program is designed to provide students with opportunities to engage in the development of new knowledge and partner with faculty and community organizations in dealing with real-world projects and issues.
Career
Over the past ten years, our graduates have been successful in finding careers in the following fields: Academia/Ph.D., City government, Corrections, Local & Federal law enforcement, Probation officer, Research/Crime analyst, Counselor, Non-profit management
