Some of my friends from college who majored in criminal justice are now in grad school for their masters of public administration. Others are in law school.

As said, MPA, JD, and there are others, a Master’s in Criminal Justice(which is somewhat like a MPA just geared towards CJ moreso). MSW-Social Work, depending on your area, you can get it, it may not be as easy to obtain and you may have to take some extra courses but that all depends on what you want to study. Also look into what brought you into the criminal justice field, was it advocacy, wanting to re-vamp the justice system, etc? You could so something like economics, psychology, statistics, for a masters! Most schools will accept “any” undergraduate degree and require certain pre-reqs. Good luck!
