Master Programs in Corrections

A degree in corrections may be a path for a rewarding career in criminal justice and may include classes such as sociology, forensics, psychology, and general education requirements. Some of the positions for which a student may be qualified include warden, prison guard, or other law enforcement agent.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
