Master of Social Work/Master of Arts in Criminal Justice (M.S.W./M.A. in CJ)
The
combined M.S.W./M.A. in CJ program offers students the opportunity to
develop expertise in criminal justice policy and research with the study
of clinical practice and human services. Hosted
by Rutgers School of Social Work and
Rutgers School of Criminal Justice,
the social work curriculum will emphasize the systems and perspectives
of populations and individuals, while coursework in criminal justice
will prepare students to think critically about the issues of crime and
social control. Specific topic areas may include issues such as
police-community relations, incarceration, violence
prevention, and juvenile justice. Overall, program graduates will be
prepared to advance social justice within criminal legal systems and
inspire interdisciplinary innovation in the field.
