Online MBA - Criminal Justice Specialization

The criminal justice sector presents unique challenges to managers, who must negotiate sensitive ethical issues and new policy developments, and oversee frequent changes in departmental procedures. An online MBA with a criminal justice specialization provides the necessary background to manage effectively in this environment. The degree is an asset in law enforcement administration, correctional administration, forensic science, and security management.

The criminal justice MBA curriculum covers business administration fundamentals, but from a criminal justice perspective. Coursework includes intervention procedures, social change and public policy, research methodology, and cultural awareness. Department-specific classes may cover juvenile criminal justice, probation, parole, and corrections practices, or forensic science procedures.

Criminal justice MBA programs are readily available online, making it easy for criminal justice managers to earn this valuable qualification while they work. The investment pays off in enhanced performance and increased salary. An MBA degree typically results in a 35% salary increase, according to the Graduate Management Admission Council's 2004 MBA Graduate Survey. No degree can guarantee salary, but managers in this field tend to make upwards of $70,000. Job growth in police and criminal investigation departments should hold steady through 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Most generalist MBAs are focused on corporate management. The criminal justice specialist program provides training relevant to public administration roles.
