Editor's Comment
The state of Massachusetts is a large employer for criminal justice program graduates. Graduates find employment in the fields of corrections, law enforcement, forensics, and the legal system just to name a few. Many graduates also decide to pursue higher education, such as master's and PhD programs. The large number of two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and private schools creates an unusually high number of faculty positions. Most often a master's degree in criminal justice will qualify an individual to teach at the 2-year college level.
