master degree designed specifically for managers in
organizations that rely on IT .
Advances in information technology have brought

in organizations that rely on IT must develop knowledge,
skills, and abilities in the core areas of IT as well
as
complementary management knowledge, skills, and abilities.
The Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT)
program is an interdisciplinary degree that achieves
these dual educational goals. Students entering the program
are
expected to be familiar with at least one programming
language and to have completed at least one semester

The Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ) is
designed to provide students with advanced knowledge
and skills to enable them to succeed in the field of
Criminal Justice. The program emphasizes both the theoretical
and applied aspects of Criminal Justice.
Upon successful completion of the master’s degree in
criminal justice, students will be able to:
* Evaluate fundamental concepts, roles and functions
of criminal justice and the criminal justice system.
* Argue the merits of applying general management theories and practices to
criminal justice administration.
* Synthesize new knowledge as a result of independent research using up-to-date
information technology and evaluate findings with respect to their merit, worthiness,
or importance.
* Design research studies and define appropriate statistical methods to be
used, to address current problems in criminal justice.
The MSCJ program is designed to meet the needs of students
seeking a master's degree as a prerequisite for entry
to the field, as well as the needs of students who are
currently employed in the field and want to broaden their
knowledge, skills, and abilities. This is accomplished
by offering sufficient foundation courses for a student
who did not major in criminal justice at the undergraduate
level, as well as sufficient electives to accommodate
students who did. Here is MSCJ: Course
