    Online Master of Science in Criminal Justice  

    The online Master of Science in Criminal Justice offered by the University of Wisconsin-Platteville is a perfect fit for those looking to enhance their understanding of criminal justice theory and law. Designed by credentialed experts with real-world experience, the program can help law enforcement professionals develop the critical skills necessary for success in leadership positions across the field.



    As a graduate of the program, you'll be able to expertly:

    • Utilize organizational, managerial, and supervisory skills appropriate to criminal justice agencies
    • Demonstrate advanced, in-depth knowledge of criminology and the criminal justice system
    • Apply research and statistical methodology to policy issues in the criminal justice agency setting
    • Identify, analyze, and solve problems at the organizational, inter-organizational, or community levels
    • Exhibit effective communication skills in both formal and informal written communication



    The program offers 3 distinct emphases to choose from—Criminal Justice Theory, Criminal Justice Management, and Victim and Offender Services—as well as a diverse array of electives like cyber crime, CJ administration, and criminal law, to help you build an academic plan that suits your professional goals.

     

     

     

    Online Child Advocacy Studies Certificate

    The Child Advocacy Studies certificate is designed to prepare students for the realities of child protection, serving the needs of those interested in working directly with maltreated or at-risk children. The necessary courses are a perfect fit for those seeking to become or specialize as child protection professionals, victim witness workers, lawyers, school social workers, and treatment providers. The program adheres to the standards laid out by the National Child Protection Training Center (NCPTC), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice.



    The faculty members that teach the required courses for the certificate are each accomplished leaders in child advocacy, conducting cutting-edge, ongoing research and bringing practical expertise to the program’s materials. These experts have helped shape the certificate to provide a unique blend of psychological and sociological perspectives, closely examining both the process of assisting the individual victim, and the broader civil effort to end child abuse.



    While the certificate is a separate credential, the 9 credit hours required to earn the certificate may be applied towards the master’s degree in criminal justice. Students can also choose to pursue a certificate in Child Advocacy Studies (CAST) while they earn the online Master of Science in Criminal Justice.
