Niagara University combines a uniquely qualified faculty and a diverse student body to provide an interesting and relevant program.  Courses are offered with an international perspective, as a number of our students work in neighboring Canada. Classes integrate management and administration techniques, analytical and communication skills, decision-making abilities and professional ethics.  Students' powers of discrimination and judgment are enhanced, enabling them to function effectively in any organizational environment upon graduation.  Graduates know how to anticipate, address and correct problems faced in the criminal justice professions in an efficient, effective and ethical manner.

Two courses in Niagara University's M.B.A. program can be taken as electives in the master's in criminal justice administration program.  In addition, several courses in the master's of counseling program can be taken as electives in the criminal justice program.  This makes for an interesting student mix and an engaging classroom experience.
