Recent justice reform initiatives in British Columbia have created new avenues for criminal justice professionals to lead systems change, policy innovation, and legislative renewal. The government is seeking to build these reforms on insights from rigorous academic and applied research, and is collaborating with local universities such as UFV to develop results-oriented strategies to reduce crime, improve services, manage costs, and shorten delays.
That's why earning a Master's degree in Criminal Justice can help you grow your career, diversify your professional opportunities, and boost your earnings. It can also serve as a stepping stone to doctoral studies to prepare you for a career in teaching, research, or senior administration.
