Criminology (major in Criminal Justice Studies)
Master of Science

The College of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Florida State University is proud to offer a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice Studies through the University’s distance-learning program. The master’s program in criminal justice studies is specifically designed for working criminal justice professionals and others who want the rigor and challenge of a first-rate graduate program, but also need the convenience and flexibility that distance learning provides.

The master’s degree in criminal justice studies is especially designed for highly motivated students who are looking toward leadership positions in law enforcement, corrections, juvenile justice, and elsewhere in the criminal justice system—in Florida, the nation as a whole, and overseas. Past graduates of the School have achieved national and international recognition, and hold prestigious positions in many states and a number of foreign countries.
