Master of Science in Administration of Justice
Whether you're a current criminal justice practitioner looking to move into a leadership position, or want to change careers and enter this growing field, the master of science degree in administration of justice at Mercyhurst College will provide you with the skills and knowledge to achieve your goals. The program focuses on a common core of management courses, providing a broad overview of government management, organizational and interpersonal dynamics, professional ethics and research competence. Because the program is committed to in-service professionals whose career and personal responsibilities make it very difficult to acquire advanced managerial training, courses are offered primarily on weekends and evenings. The calendar for the administration of justice program consists of two 15-week semesters, and all courses meet one evening per week.
