Endicott College’s School of Social Sciences, Communication & Humanities announced its new M.S. in Criminal Justice, a direct continuation of its existing B.S in Criminal Justice program. The 33-credit program, set to launch in 2027, will combine cybersecurity, homeland security, and criminal psychology into an integrated degree that fills an existing gap in the region’s master’s program offerings. Applications will open on August 1, 2026.
“Massachusetts needs professionals who can analyze complex systems, apply ethical frameworks, interpret data, and implement reforms that make a real difference,” said Endicott College President Bryan Cain, Ph.D. “That’s a specialized skill set, and there are few programs in New England offering this level of advanced preparation. This master’s program continues Endicott’s tradition of equipping graduates to make meaningful contributions from their very first day in the field, not just their first year.”
The new program also meets students where they are, offering on-campus and hybrid options for both working professionals and recent graduates. This flexibility ensures Endicott remains accessible and responsive to the evolving needs of its students and community. Graduates are expected to pursue positions including criminal analyst, cybercrime investigator, and security manager.
“By aligning graduate-level competencies with the foundational knowledge and skills developed at the undergraduate level, this program enables students to continue their education without leaving the institution or the region,” said Kyungseok Choo, Associate Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Communications, & Humanities and Director of Homeland Security. “Employers are seeking candidates with this level of preparation. At Endicott, this is the latest example of how we connect rigorous academics with real-world experience to deliver meaningful career outcomes.”
