What is the official agreement between Xiamen University School of Law and Northeastern University College of Criminal Justice?
The two universities signed a MOU in 2006 to foster a long term international academic partnership. The joint Master of Science Degree in Comparative Criminal Justice is a part of this agreement. Other activities include regular faculty and student exchanges and joint research. Q: Is the NU-XMU Joint Master of Science in Comparative Criminal Justice (MSCCJ) degree offered in Xiamen equivalent to the Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ) degree offered in Boston? A: Yes. The two degrees are equivalent in their academic credentials and effects but they have slightly different focuses (see table below for comparison). Both are officially approved American master degrees from Northeastern University. All core courses are taught by American faculty.
