Online Graduate Certificate Program in Cybercrime
Our post-baccalaureate cybercrime certificate is the only one of its kind offered in the region, with coursework including digital forensics, laws governing the internet and cyber ethics. Therefore, it supplements a baccalaureate degree in a relevant field from an accredited four-year institution.
All courses in the cybercrime certificate program may be applied to the online cybercrime concentration of the master’s degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology.
Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology – Cybercrime Concentration
Our Master of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology offers a concentration in cybercrime for students seeking careers or professional advancement, and for students who ultimately pursue an advanced degree in criminal justice.
The graduate cybercrime emphasis shares its curriculum with the post-baccalaureate cybercrime certificate. These focus on laws related to electronic devices and the internet, traditional crimes committed using computers, issues relating to the Fourth Amendment, jurisdiction at state and federal levels, and cyber ethics.
Therefore, courses in the cybercrime graduate certificate program may be applied to the online cybercrime concentration of the Master of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology.
