The Online MCJ Carries the Highest Standards of Quality Available.
ACCREDITATIONS
The University of Cincinnati is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), a Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.*
According to surveys of prospective MCJ students, accreditation is among the three most important variables for adults choosing any Master’s of Criminal Justice program, along with program costs and the availability of the program via distance learning. Regional accreditation is the type of accreditation awarded to the nation’s largest and most prestigious public and private colleges and universities. All public, state-funded universities in the United States, including the University of Cincinnati, are regionally accredited.
Aside from regional accreditation, the U.S. Department of Education does not recognize any specialized accrediting body for the purpose of assessing criminal justice programs. Because of this, prospective criminal justice students must look to independent rankings and other objective indicators to assess program quality. As such, UC’s Division of Criminal Justice clearly ranks among the very best criminal justice universities in the world. Click here for a complete list of UC’s rankings.
In all, UC’s accreditation and rankings make the University of Cincinnati the most highly regarded criminal justice school offering an online master's degree in criminal justice. Combine the program’s quality standards with the convenience and flexibility of completing the entire master's degree online, and you will see why over 700 criminal justice students have chosen UC. Put our reputation to work for you, and expect to achieve more by earning your MCJ from the University of Cincinnati!
