SUNY Canton adds pathway to criminal justice master’s degree

Posted

CANTON -- Students enrolled in SUNY Canton's Center for Criminal Justice, Intelligence and Cybersecurity (CJIC) have two new fast-track pathways to earn their graduate degrees.

Faculty and administration from SUNY Canton have established articulation agreements with the University at Albany allowing students to begin working on one of two master's programs while completing their bachelor's degrees.

One of the plans links the college's CJIC with UAlbany's College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity (CEHC) and will lead directly into a Master of Science in Information Science degree. The other leads into a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice degree offered through UAlbany's School of Criminal Justice. Both are open to nearly 500 students enrolled in seven academic programs at SUNY Canton.

The agreements are part of a large SUNY-wide effort to connect programs statewide through SUNY Online, which creates unified education options. Future agreements will allow students to begin at their hometown community colleges, continue in a four-year SUNY Canton program, and then complete their education at UAlbany completely online.

At SUNY Canton, the CJIC was designed specifically to offer advanced educational opportunities, including the ones with UAlbany, and to expand relationships with state law enforcement and corrections agencies. It also houses the SUNY Canton Corrections Academy and the David Sullivan - St. Lawrence County Law Enforcement Academy, creating direct links to employment after graduation.

Although the college has numerous articulation agreements with other institutions, this is the very first that will lead directly into a graduate degree within the CJIC.
