What are the benefits of pursuing a security management degree rather than a traditional criminal justice degree?
It all comes down to your goals. If you aspire to a law enforcement career, then you definitely should pursue a criminal justice degree. If you are a career law enforcement professional, then, of course, a master’s degree in criminal justice is the goal. Conversely, a degree in security management is the best option if you are seeking employment in corporate security, governmental agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security or the Transportation Security Administration, or with private security contractors engaged in security operations. If you are a corporate security professional seeking to advance, a master’s in security management helps you achieve your life goals and full potential within the profession. It’s helpful to look at your current career, life experiences, formal and informal educational background and future goals in deciding your degree path. Think about where you want to be professionally in five years. What can I expect in terms of job outlook and salaries
