UW-Platteville Criminal Justice Program Recognized as Top in Country |
The UW-Platteville Master's Degree in Criminal Justice program is uniquely designed to provide foundational knowledge in criminal justice systems, operations, and law for career mobility in the field. Students also gain skills in organizational management, problem-solving, communications, and research. The master's program has three distinct emphases, designed to advance one’s knowledge and open the door to new opportunities: Criminal Justice Theory, Criminal Justice Management, Victim and Offender Services. "What I like about distance education is that it serves working adults, people who are already working in the profession," said Dr. Patrick Solar, a professor in the program. "The master's program is a great way to acquire the skills and knowledge that are necessary for the real-life aspects of a management position. A degree says something about us. Our willingness to advance ourselves, our willingness to work, our ability to meet deadlines, or to engage in self-initiated activities. All of those are positive attributes if you're going to advance to supervisory and upper management." Data shows the program has also been a sound investment for those who have earned the degree. In fact, of the more than 400 graduates since 2019, an estimated 75-80% are working in supervisory and management positions. ETM Insights is a sponsored section of EvidenceMagazine.com |
