Just wondering how an LLM ( the one I'm thinking of is London with all four courses having a very sociological focus) would compare to a traditional Masters in CJ. Would the DL LLM in Criminology and Criminal Justice qualify me to teach CJ courses? Would the degree be perceived as comparable in stature to a Masters, or better or worse? Thanks
Where I used to work, a law degree, whether LLM or JD, would not enable you to teach CJ. Different schools may have different policies. I say if you want to teach CJ, you can't go wrong with a Master's in it. -=Steve=-
Nosborne-- I'm not sure what you mean when you say that the all 4 course model has been closed to new applicants. I'm already registered in the old system but havent tested yet. I'm thinking of switching to the new (if I elect to go on) mainly b/c of the option to test one course at a time. I know the new program has specializations in Criminology/Crim Justice. Minimum of 3 in the group to get specialization. Are you saying you cant take 4 from one group?
That's right...you DID say that you were already registered. So the four course option is where you are right now. I switched to the new program. It is a LOT more expensive but the added flexibility and support seem to me to be worth it; I didn't think that I could amass enough expertise in two subjects to pass on my own.
