It's Your Education, Make an Informed Choice.

A master’s degree in economic crime management is an advanced graduate program that caters to individuals in government, private companies, and professional organizations that have a need or desire to expand their crime education. Through a rigorous 2-year track, students are educated on how to recognize and protect against fraudulent activity through accounting analysis, research methods, and security measures. The goal of the executive MS in economic crime management is to arm professionals with information, technology, and techniques to use in the workplace, allowing them to prevent security threats and maintain a sound operating environment.

Computers play a major role in the progressive path of this program, and technology is the most widely used tool. From software to switchboards to accounting blips, students are taught how to distinguish typical trends and anomalies from patterns of criminal activity. Most students that seek this master’s degree are doing so to enhance their skills in their currently employed position. However, some students elect to earn this certification immediately after undergrad school, in hopes to become a qualified candidate before entering the workplace. These students should have a specialized interest in both crime prevention and technology. After graduation, some career options might include IT manager, security director, computer forensic specialist, and financial investigator.
