UNO Criminal Justice Master’s Program Fifth Nationally
The University of Nebraska at Omaha’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice has received national recognition as one of the nation’s top graduate programs for the fourth consecutive year.
UNO’s Master of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice program was fifth nationally as evaluated by U.S. News & World Report. The magazine’s 2020 Best Online Program Rankings, released last Tuesday, took a look at engagement, faculty credentials, student excellence and other factors in making its determination.
Students in the master’s degree program complete 11 classes and a capstone course either online or through evening classes.
“This ranking is well deserved,” John Bartle, dean of UNO’s College of Public Affairs and Community Service, said in a university news release. “We have outstanding faculty, our curriculum is practical, and we prepare students for the future, not the past.”
The program partners with the community and local criminal justice agencies, said Gaylene Armstrong, the school’s director.
“This notable ranking speaks to the hard work of our faculty and staff, close relationships with alumni, and strong leadership and program support from the college and broader university campus leadership,” Armstrong said.
Other programs ranked in the top five by U.S. News & World Report were the University of California–Irvine, Sam Houston State University in Texas, Boston University and the University of Massachusetts–Lowell.
