Student Review: “Boston University is the perfect combination of traditional “college” and urban living. Although BU is located in Boston, there is still a sense of community so that you don’t feel completely thrown into a big urban setting right out of high school. It does take about a semester for most people to really fall in love with BU because there are a lot of adjustments transitioning from high school but BU offers an array of different societies and clubs from Greek Life to Jujitsu club. The school work is academically challenging but manageable and suits most people’s academic level. A major downside of BU is the price. The tuition, room, and board continuously rises, not to mention the cost of living in Boston is very expensive, so if you don’t have a lot of money to spare reconsider going to Boston University as most people do have the money to spend. Overall, Boston University is a great school and generally people love it here even if it takes a couple weeks to get adjusted.” -Charlie W., student at Boston University

Student Review: “Holyoke Community College is a small school with a condensed campus but holds many opportunities. H.C.C is a wonderful school because they work diligently to keep all of their requirements up to par with surrounding Universities. I transferred to the University of Massachusetts and all of my Gen.Ed classes were accepted without issue. The professors are of high caliber even though they are part of a community college. I’ve spent many hours working with professors in their offices after class to address problems with course material and they’ve been very helpful. The campus is very small but being a campus without living accommodations makes that a big plus. You can walk from one side of campus to the other in roughly 5-10 minutes. They also offer a shuttle to the far side of campus and make it very easy for the handicapped to navigate campus. If you want a traditional college experience and don’t mind paying for it then don’t choose H.C.C. If you want to save thousands of dollars per semester and have a good time with fun classes and very support professors in small classrooms then H.C.C is the number one choice.” -Peter M., student at Holyoke Community College

Student Review: “The Northeastern University Criminal Justice Program is one of the best programs in the country for those interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement. The largest benefit of the program is the implementation of Northeastern’s three co-op system, where Criminal Justice Students complete three six-month full-time internships with law enforcement agencies, social service organizations, law firms, or other organizations that provide careers in Criminal Justice. I completed two full-time co-ops as an undergraduate at Northeastern; my first co-op was at Northeastern University Police Department, where I gained significant experience as a patrol cadet working alongside Boston, MBTA, State, and Northeastern police officers. My second co-op was at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, where I learned about legal services in the public sector. Though the program had a few drawbacks, including repetitive coursework and an occasional lack of concrete skill training, the co-op program provides amazing opportunities to get your foot in the door at a law enforcement agency or law firm.” -Stephen S., student at Northeastern University

Student Review: “Northeastern is located in a great area of Boston for college students; there’s always something to do in the city. As a result, however, the community feel is severely lacking and the campus often feels empty at night when you’re just walking around. Class sizes are pretty big the first year and mostly lecture-based, which I actually preferred after coming from a very small high school. Most professors are easy to contact and respond quickly. A few instructors from mid-level courses, especially in the medical field, are hard to get in touch with when their regular jobs are in a clinical setting. The resources here vary in usefulness; the gym is amazing but the technology standard was average or, for some unlucky residence halls, sub-par. It was very easy to find a place to study, since you could reserve rooms at the 4-story library or even most other open buildings. The dining hall food and nearby locations that accept ‘Husky Dining Dollars’ offer many options, which was nice.” -Janet Q., student at Northeastern University

Student Review: “Northeastern University’s criminal justice program was a pretty good experience for me. From the criminal justice dorm I lived in freshman year to the CJ student group, there was always a level of peer interaction easily accessible throughout my time at Northeastern. The curriculum included program-specific writing courses and math courses, which I appreciated. I found the writing course especially helpful. Northeastern has a great variety of professors teaching their CJ classes, including lawyers, nonprofit supervisors, and tv “talking heads” who advise on serial killers. I had good experiences interacting with these various people who were performing CJ work in the “real world.” The co-op internship program is also good. I worked at two different police departments and felt like I got a very good view of the world of police. The advisors were a bit lacking; they frequently did not respond to emails in a helpful manner, and many were not very down-to-earth about the student experience. Overall, though, it was a great program while I was there. Unfortunately, three years after graduating I’m still not able to find employment in my field.” – Student at Northeastern University

Student Review: “The criminal justice program at Quinsigamond was extremely laid back. I had entered into the program in hopes of becoming a police officer and expected some sort of discipline in the class. However, that was not what I received. The homework was generic and so easy, I never felt challenged. I also was hoping to get to work on current or recent cases in the county, just for learning purposes, but the only cases we were presented were 10+ years old. I really wish there were more problem-solving activities and hands-on work instead of so much book work. Most of the time the only thing we did was read a chapter and write a summary about what we thought. Towards the end of the program, there were some activities that were hands-on but not much.” -Julia C., student at Quinsigamond Community College

Student Review: “My experience at Salem State College was moderate. It wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible either. The program itself could use better structure, as in the faculty and the courses provided. The faculty, some of whom were not very good teachers, failed to provide proper details and information to students. I feel some of the teachers are incompetent to teach. Class sometimes gets canceled unexpectedly, which was a problem to commuters especially. The courses provided could use more flexibility. Plenty of reading involved but little field work expected. The only field work that lets students get involved to gain some experience was the last course of the program, an internship or the capstone. They have a criminal justice club, but it lacks involvement. The career fair fails to attract federal employment. Overall, you find the best opportunities too late or never and everything is done individually. The program could use some renovations.” – student at Salem State College

University of Massachusetts Amherst (Boston)
Bachelor of Arts | Criminal Justice Studies (online or on-campus)
Certificate | Criminal Justice Studies (online)

Student Review: “This program was a good baseline, but definitely could be better. Honestly, UMass should have criminal justice as a major, not just a concentration/certificate. I liked the classes, but they all sort of focused on the same general principles. It would have been better to be able to take classes that were more focused on specific topics such as domestic violence, criminal profiling or criminal law to get a more well-rounded education. The best part about being in this program was the amazing internship opportunities at local jails, courts etc that we were able to take part in.” – Student at University of Massachusetts Amherst

Student Review: “UMass Boston was overall a great experience for me. At around 16,000 students, at times it did feel a little crowded, but I still felt as though I received personal attention from the professors. Each of them held office hours at least once a week, and classes were mostly smaller in the Psychology department, with the largest class I participated in being around 40 students. It had a different feel to it than most colleges because it is a commuter school, but there is always something going on that allows you to make friends. The school location is beautiful and located on the ocean, but can be hard to reach from the outer suburbs surrounding the city. Overall, this is a great school with high quality education and professors.” -Karaline M., student at University of Massachusetts – Boston

Student Review: “UML has a really mixed bag of a Criminal Justice program. Although the professors are generally nice, the classes have a weird tendency to be extremely hard or extremely easy. Most of the classes in this field are generally large averaging 20-300 students, and the majority of the classes have an online portion where all the tests, quizzes and homework take place. This is good for the students who enjoy taking tests online but could be a problem for those who do not. The program is a decent one, but if you can find a more credible one, do it.” – Student at University of Massachusetts Lowell

Student Review: “The criminal justice program at Westfield State is very unique and pleasurable. The class sizes aren’t that big so you get a lot of interaction with the professors. Many of the professors are laid back, intellectual, and helpful when any student needs assistance. The classes offered are also very diverse with special topics classes being the most interesting. Some special topic courses include: “Hate Crimes,” “Jihad, Holy Wars, and Religious Extremism,” and “Sports and Criminal Behavior.” I personally really liked both Hate Crimes and the Jihad, Holy Wars, and Religious Extremism classes the best because of the topics and how the professor was very informed of the subject matter. The professors are pretty funny and make the class interesting and get people involved. While some classes are more enjoyable than others, there are some tough classes and some tough professors that are pretty difficult in terms of workload. What I wasn’t a big fan of was the course times. Westfield offered certain classes that were interesting but only at one time and the classes became full quickly. Other than that, my experiences here at Westfield have been nothing but positive.” – student at Westfield State

Student Review: “Overall, I have had a very positive experience in the Criminal Justice program that I am enrolled in. I have enjoyed most of my classes with the exception of one and that negative experience was due to a professor that I did not personally like. In that class, I did not feel that I walked away with a good amount of new knowledge or understanding of what I should have. However, other classes that I took this past year have given me a new interest in areas of criminal justice that I previously had no idea even existed. Those classes have now given me a potential career direction and that is very exciting to me. The only other criticism I could give to the department is that I do not feel that there are enough options to choose from as far as courses; I think that there could and should be more course offerings directed towards different aspects of the criminal justice system.” -Student at Bridgewater State College

Student Review: “Nichols College has been a great experience for me. I transferred from a community college to Nichols two years ago, and they made the transfer process simple and quick. The campus is located in a country setting in the small town of Dudley, Massachusetts. It is very easy to get to, and simple to get around campus. The atmosphere is very inviting and you feel safe. While the school is geared more towards business major students, they offer a variety of degree programs. They offer associate, bachelor, and master degrees. The school is very flexible, offering courses during the day, night, and online. I personally have experience with all three. All of the professors are very knowledgeable and intelligent, with most having real-life experience in what they are teaching. I have been fond of many of the professors I’ve had and look up to them as role models. One thing that could be improved is the number of classes they offer at night. I need a particular class that is currently only being offered online once a year for my degree program. Overall, I think Nichols College is a terrific school.” -Nicole L., student of Nichols College

Student Review: “Worcester State University is a small commuter university with plentiful opportunities. Although WSU seems less appealing to new undergraduates due to its small campus life, it’s uniqueness allows a student to build his/her own character. The size of the classes and the close proximity of the buildings allow students to feel at ease while completing their education. In my experience, the faculty is always available to students on an as-needed basis. The financial aid office has always been helpful in answering questions or receiving forms. My favorite part about WSU is the convenience of getting to know professors, students, and receiving the educational attention necessary to succeed. However, WSU is located in the Central part of Massachusetts in a city which has a bad reputation. Even though WSU is located in a non-reputable city, it is ideal for a student who is solely focused on receiving an affordable education without the excitement of campus life.” -Natalia M., student at Worcester State College

Student Review: “I genuinely have nothing but positive remarks regarding my experience within the Criminal Justice department at Worcester State University. Going into this field of study, I really didn’t know exactly what career path I was going to ultimately choose, however, with guidance from the experienced faculty and interesting course material – I knew that Criminal Justice was the correct field for me and ultimately I found my passion within Policing. Criminal Justice is an interesting major because, more often than not, you will have professors and advisors who have had firsthand experience in the field of Law Enforcement. Whether they were police officers, corrections officers, lawyers, probation or parole officers, and so forth – you become exposed and immersed to a field where you are offered firsthand accounts (by the faculty) of what the job truly entails. I believe this aspect was incredibly useful for me in finding my passion. Additionally, my professors had great connections within the field of Criminal Justice and were incredibly helpful in helping me land a career as a Police Officer.” -Student at Worcester State College
