MTSU Department of Criminal Justice Administration

Welcome to the Department of Criminal Justice Administration (CJA) at Middle Tennessee State University. The CJA Department offers programs of study at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

At the undergraduate level, students may obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in one of three unique programs: Criminal Justice, Emergency Management & Homeland Security, or Law Enforcement. Minors in Criminal Justice Administration, Criminal Investigations, and Homeland Security are offered for non-CJA majors.

At the graduate level, students may obtain a Master of Criminal Justice degree by completing either a thesis track or a non-thesis track which instead requires successful completion of the written comprehensive examination.
