A Master of Arts Degree Program in Criminal Justice Administration was initiated in the Fall of 1999. This 33 credit program is designed to provide a foundation in applied research and theory, seminars in substantive areas of criminal justice activity, and focused scholarship on issues of importance in Idaho. Curricula are organized into three sections.

The first section, called the Foundation Series, is a set of core classes that will provide students with the intellectual skills needed for the study of more complex material. The second section, the Seminar Series, promotes the development of scholarship in particular substantive areas in criminal justice. The third section, the Elective Series, is intended to provide practical application of skills acquired in the core and seminar series. Students  also are required to write either a project or thesis, relevant to issues, policy, or practice in criminal justice.
