U.S. News & World Report Ranks NSU’s Criminal Justice Graduate Program as one of the Best in America
F
ORT LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla. – For the first time, U.S. News & World Report included online graduate criminal justice programs in its annual review of the top educational programs in America. When the review was completed, Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) program was ranked 22nd.
“We are thrilled to see our program receive such recognition,” said George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., NSU’s president and CEO. “We’ve worked very hard to make that a robust program for our students – we’ve known for a while that our program was one of the best, and now it has been recognized as such.”
According to the report, around 5.4 million students took at least one distance education course during the fall of 2012. While online education is a fast-growing option for schools around the country, at NSU it has been something at the university’s core mission almost since the school was founded.
“Providing as many opportunities for students to obtain a quality education has been a primary focus of NSU for the past 50 years,” Hanbury said. “NSU provides a myriad of high quality online course options for students – we’re pioneers in the area.”
No better example can be found than NSU’s criminal justice graduate program as it’s offered entirely online. This format allows students to participate in courses from anywhere in the world and provides flexibility in completing a master’s degree while providing time for students to continue their current career if need be. NSU’s master’s program in criminal justice is designed for those interested in careers in several areas, including, but not limited to: police officer; detective; FBI special agent; DEA agent; Secret Service special agent; Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agent; and Federal Air Marshall.
