专业概况

Penn is the only one of the nation’s top research universities (and the only institution in the Ivy League) to offer a Master of Science program in Criminology. We offer students a solid, interdisciplinary academic grounding in criminology and provide the skills to analyze crime data, map crime patterns, and use research to make evidence-based decisions on how to address crime. This scientific grounding and the rich intellectual atmosphere at Penn also serves as a foundation for research-oriented students who wish to continue their education in Ph.D. programs in criminology and related social sciences. By blending theory and application, the program enhances career advancement for those who want to contribute to the public interest in government, criminal justice agencies, legal settings, and non-profit organizations and increases opportunities for those choosing to go to research universities.

Our criminology program has an interdisciplinary focus, drawing on exceptional faculty from across Penn’s departments and schools including those with appointments in business, law, medicine, nursing, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, and statistics. We also offer joint degrees—for example, with Penn’s Law School and with the Fels Institute of Government.

The Criminology Masters Program begins with an orientation. Because this is a small and highly select program which concentrates on personal attention and guidance, this orientation period provides an opportunity for students to get to know each other, faculty and administrators, as well as the Penn community. During the course of the program, members of the cohort constantly interact in classes, in the department lounge and study area and at social events. Finally, we invite all graduates back to campus every April for an Annual Criminology Program Reunion.

Penn Criminology M.S. graduates emerge from this program equipped with the knowledge and skills that are highly sought after by employers in government and the private sector and by leading university doctoral programs. How do we know? We have been tracking the careers of our graduates since the program’s inception in 2005. Increasing numbers have been continuing their academic studies at prominent universities in the United States and abroad. For those seeking positions in criminal justice related areas, our employment record is excellent. They are working in criminology-related jobs, ranging from federal, state, and local law enforcement, Washington, D.C. think tanks and consultancies, state and local corrections, and investigative firms, to non-profit research institutes and federally-funded crime prevention initiatives.

There are 8 courses required for completion. Of these, 7 are required and one is an elective. The courses are designed to give our graduates a solid understanding of criminological theories, an advanced study of the components of the criminal justice system, and the tools to comprehend and conduct crime and justice system research.
