March 1 is the priority admission deadline for scholarship consideration. However, the master of arts (M.A.) program in criminal justice and the master of arts/master of public administration (M.A./M.P.A.) dual-degree program will accept applications for fall until May 1 and applications for spring admission will be accepted until December 1. More information about admission procedures is available at the Graduate School-Camden website. Students applying to the M.A./M.P.A. program apply to the criminal justice program online and then indicate in the statement of purpose their intention to apply to the dual M.A./M.P.A.

Applicants to the M.A. and the M.A./M.P.A. program must:
