College Choice Releases 2016 Ranking of the Best Online Master's in Criminal Justice Degree Programs

EUGENE, Ore., June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice (www.collegechoice.net/), a leading authority on college rankings and resources, has published a ranking of the top fifty online master's degrees in criminal justice in the United States. The ranking can be viewed in full at http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/top-online-masters-criminal-justice-2016/.

University of the Cumberlands, Arizona State University, Columbia College (Missouri), University of California Irvine, and Sam Houston State University occupy the top five spots on the list, which is based on factors such as cost of attendance, each program's reputation in its field, and return on investment. Other schools include Lamar University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Florida State University, Faulkner University, and Bowling Green State University. 

Robert Hand, lead editor for the ranking, explains College Choice's ranking further: "For students who have completed a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and wish to continue their education, deepen their knowledge of criminal behavior and correctional systems, increase their chances of establishing a career in leadership in this field or being involved in a research career, a graduate degree in criminal justice is worth considering. Master's degrees in criminal justice will require students to specialize beyond their general training in their bachelor's program, and most schools will boast strengths in one or more particular areas. Our focus on online programs in this list gives students an additional measure of flexibility."
