If you want to work in criminal justice organizations, social services, or government, you can put your career on the fast track by earning a graduate degree, too. At Suffolk University, you can accelerate your studies and earn your undergraduate degree and a Master of Science in Crime & Justice Studies (MSCJS) in just five years.
This dual-degree program is open to criminal justice and sociology majors with at least two criminal justice electives. If accepted, you’ll take two graduate-level courses in the fall or spring of your senior year and then complete your graduate studies in a fifth year (full-time)—saving both time and tuition.
In your graduate studies, you’ll explore the field of crime and justice more deeply with a concentration in victim advocacy or youth, crime, and justice. You’ll also get firsthand experience in the field with our internship courses.
