Criminology - Bachelor of Science
Regis' online bachelor's degree in Criminology is for professionals in criminal justice and other fields such as social work and public policy who want to help prevent and solve crimes by understanding more about why they happen. The program is a critical analysis of social, political, and environmental factors that drive aberrant behavior, as well as the psychology of criminals. Unlike a criminal justice degree, which focuses mainly on policing and law enforcement, a criminology degree offers vital knowledge on criminal behavior, which can help you profile, identify, and ultimately capture criminals.

Coursework in our online BS in Criminology moves from general behaviors and causes of crime to specific issues such as juvenile crime, violence in the workplace, and terrorism. The curriculum also explores topics related to leadership, such as interorganizational communication and ethics.The BS in Criminology requires three years documented work experience. In addition to law enforcement and the criminal justice system, the knowledge offered in our bachelor's in Criminology program is applicable to other fields such as private security, public policy, youth and family counseling, and intelligence analysis.

Criminology - Master of Science
The online MS in Criminology offers an advanced analysis of crime through studies of criminal behavior and the many factors--environmental, political, social, psychological, and cultural--that can cause it. It is designed for individuals who want to contribute to criminal justice by predicting, preventing, and solving crimes of all kinds, such as terrorism, human trafficking, and white-collar fraud. With its focus on criminal behavior, the master's in Criminology differs from a criminal justice degree that emphasizes procedures related to the apprehension of criminals. It expands upon students' existing criminal justice knowledge by providing valuable insights into patterns and behaviors. A master's degree in criminology can be beneficial to front-line law enforcement officers and criminal justice professionals planning to move into management roles or government agencies such as the FBI and the DEA. With its wide-ranging applications, the program can be beneficial to individuals in a number of other fields as well, such as public policy, private and industrial security, social services, and victimology. Students are encouraged to use their specific area of criminological interest as an area of research and study during the program. The curriculum of the program mirrors classes taught at the FBI National Academy.
