What are the main advantages of earning a MSCCJ degree in China?
As stated earlier, one unique advantage of earning a MSCCJ degree is the combination of strengths from both Universities. All the core courses are taught by the American faculty in English (during summer sessions).

A candidate who inspires to work domestically in Chinese legal field will have received the essential legal knowledge and training from a rigorous graduate law program with added advantage of having learned the state-of-the-art criminal justice practices, policy-making, theory and research from top American scholars. All these can be accomplished in a flexible 18 month period. Students can also choose to come to Boston during the last six months of study (see more below on “Can I spend longer time studying in Boston?”). Another notable advantage for MSCCJ candidates is the tuition rat
