Saint Leo University offers several competitive, quality master’s degree programs, and the program in criminal justice is no exception. The master’s degree in criminal justice is a two-year program designed to prepare the student for higher positions in law enforcement. It can be completed on campus, online, or any combination thereof. Students that complete the program on campus take two classes at a time over a sixteen week period, and students that participate via distance learning take one class at a time over an eight week period. There is also an accelerated program available to complete the master’s degree in under two years, though this requires approval on an individual basis.
Traditional Study
Completing the master’s program in criminal justice at a campus, command school, summer institute, or off-site location is the traditional method in which students obtain their degree. This method is best suited for students looking to stay at a university and have the “traditional college experience.”
Online Study
The master’s program in criminal justice is offered as a distance learning degree for students that would like to pursue their career goals around their busy lifestyle. This method is ideal for hectic schedules, as the student is offered maximum flexibility in when to attend class. The online study program provides the same valuable, merited learning as the traditional study option.
Blended Study
The blended study option allows students to alternate between traditional and online study. Classes are scheduled at a campus intermittently on weekends and the rest of the program is available online. This allows working students the advantage of distance learning’s flexibility, while still being able to attend campus on the weekends for face-to-face interaction with their professors.
