The NSU master of science in criminal justice, offered through the Criminal Justice Institute, is the study of the legal rules of court procedure, police history and procedure, criminology, and the use of corrections as a means of rehabilitating convicted criminals. The study of criminal justice can offer the undergraduate student a richer understanding of the structure and process of how laws, police, courts, and corrections all interact to work as a collective whole.
