Master in Criminal Justice/Safety Studies (Master's)

At Xavier University, the tuition fee is 12,366 USD per year.

Students study the criminal justice system, its organizations and processes, and the legal and public policy contexts. They learn criminal law and policy, police and correctional systems, justice administration, the judiciary, and public attitudes about criminal justice issues.

Typical applications include work in police and correctional systems, the administration of justice, and the judiciary. The field also applies to legal and public policy settings.

For international students, tuition is well below the median for US programmes. The institution admits about 88% of applicants.

Xavier's history is rooted in Jesuit Catholic education, with learning connected to service, reflection and personal growth. That foundation shapes a community where professors know students by name and where the core curriculum helps first-year students develop tools and connections for their studies. More than 7,000 people call Xavier home, and students can take part in more than 160 clubs and organizations.

Academic options include undergraduate and graduate programs in areas such as business, accounting, actuarial science, computer science, artificial intelligence, applied physics, biology, biomedical sciences, nursing, education, communication, politics and the arts. Students interested in professional preparation can study biomedical sciences before medical or dental school, explore data analysis and business systems, or pursue programs in health care, counseling and psychology. Graduate certificates and online programs are also available, including online study in business and addiction counseling.

The campus is in Cincinnati, Ohio, and offers residence halls, dining at Hoff Dining Commons, general medicine and preventive care, counseling, and the HUB fitness center. First-year students begin with Manresa orientation, connecting with classmates, student leaders and the wider campus community. Athletics include 19 Division I teams, while recreational sports, club sports, student government, faith traditions and service communities provide additional ways to participate. As a Jesuit university, Xavier makes community service part of learning and its mission.
