Message from the Vice President
Welcome to New England College's (NEC) Master of Science in Criminal Justice Leadership (MSCJL) degree program, one of the most forward-looking programs and relevant courses of study available for today's students in the field of criminal justice leadership.
NEC's MSCJL degree provides students with the proven leadership skills required to meet the challenges facing professionals with leadership responsibilities in criminal justice organizations. Our comprehensive curriculum offers courses designed to increase competency in providing leadership to line responders and stakeholders in the criminal justice system. All courses are facilitated by faculty whose roots are in management education and in the science and practice of criminal justice policy and methods, qualifying them as leaders in their field.
In an organization where there is faith in the abilities of formal leaders, employees will look to these individuals for effective and rational planning, positive and effective decision-making, and regular, complete communication that is timely and unambiguous. Leaders who are equipped with the latest and most advanced knowledge, and who are innovative in challenging conventional wisdom, will have the opportunity to empower their organizations and be more effective within a system facing unprecedented challenges on a daily basis.
The MSCJL program offers criminal justice professionals on a career track toward leadership positions the opportunity to examine and restructure both their current organization and the complex criminal justice system. The knowledge and skills you acquire in this program will prepare you to create strategies for leading both the system and your organization toward necessary change in a rapidly changing environment.
Our MSCJL students are amazed at the level of convenience offered by this rigorous and challenging course of study. You now have the opportunity to earn your Master's degree without placing your career on hold or relocating.
Studying online, supported by NEC's extraordinary 24/7 technical support system, enables our students to continue in their present jobs, while enhancing their performance as they learn. They acquire problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and apply what they learn in class to current challenges in their jobs and their organizations, adding stature to their reputation as they advance their credentials.
With a manageable time commitment of approximately 15 to 20 hours per week of study, and faculty who appreciate the challenges of balancing this commitment with home and work schedules, the MSCJL program offers working professionals the perfect avenue for personal and professional growth. The immense value it will add to your working life begins with the decision you are about to make — to take the next step toward achieving leadership in your chosen field.
Please feel free to call our Admissions Advisors for more information on the program, tuition, and financial aid.
We look forward to welcoming you to NEC and the MSCJL program.
