Master's degrees in criminal justice will require specialization beyond the general training in your bachelor's program, and most schools will boast strengths in one or more particular areas. Criminal justice graduate students often choose to earn a degree specialization in niche areas like homeland security, behavioral science, or forensic technology. Many online criminal justice master's degree programs culminate in a thesis paper or capstone project, giving students the opportunity to demonstrate the new knowledge and skills they have gained.

"The changing face of public safety means lots of opportunity for criminal justice professionals," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "As new and different threats arise, people with the prestige and training of a master's degree have the potential to make a real, positive impact for the safety of their communities."

College Choice developed its list by looking at academic quality, institutional reputation, program accreditation, along with return on investment—the differential between tuition costs and average early career earnings. Data comes from US News & World Report, the National Center for Education Statistics, and Payscale.
