The dual Master of Pastoral Studies and Master of Criminal Justice (M.P.S./M.C.J.) is designed for pastoral ministers and law enforcement professionals seeking to bridge the domains of religion and ministry with criminal justice in order to reach those whom they serve more holistically, to form creative alliances and coalitions between churches and justice institutions, and to conduct the empirical studies necessary for the acquisition state and federal funding for faith-based rehabilitation programs. 

Degree Requirements

Students in this program must be admitted to both the Department of Criminal Justice and the Institute for Ministry. The total number of credit hours for the dual degree is 55 credits of graduate work.
