Hi Everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while and it's been incredibly helpful. I wish I had found it sooner-I'd have saved loads of time trying to find various info. Anyway, about the Master's in CJ. I have been enrolled in Boston University's MCJ program since last May. I have 3 more courses to go and I'm done! The program is excellent. It's interesting, challenging, and dynamic. The classes are 6 weeks long so you you have to like a very fast pace. You also have to like writing, writing, writing. Lots of research papers, shorter type papers, and essay exercises. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a master's in this field. I will be getting a DL MPH from Umass/Amherst next. If it weren't for DL programs, my schedule would never have allowed a return to school. Tattoo A.A.S Bay State College R.N. Somerville Hospital School of Nursing B.S.
