I Want To Pursue My Master's Degree In Criminal Justice

I am applying to your master’s degree program in criminal justice with a concentration in Homeland Security for the spring semester of 2016. While obtaining my undergraduate degree at Fayetteville State University, I had the opportunity to intern with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety where I was exposed to different aspects of the criminal justice system, such as probation and parole, law enforcement, the juvenile justice system, and corrections. In addition, I currently work at the county summary court in Greenville, South Carolina as an administrative support specialist.

Growing up, I always had an interest in criminal justice, and I always had great admiration for those who are committed to protect the law and our national

In addition, I was able to improve my time management skills. As an undergraduate, I held a full time job, and I also took care of my family.
