New Master's in Criminology, Criminal Justice to Enhance Opportunities for UTEP Students

Fatima Ceniceros has a reputation for being honest. The only person she tried to fool was herself when she started at The University of Texas at El Paso as a civil engineering major. It took her two years to realize that she was on the wrong path.

The UTEP Department of Criminal Justice are launching the new Master of Science in Criminology and Criminal Justice degree. Ted Curry, Ph.D., associate professor of criminal justice and the department’s graduate director (left), and Leanne Alarid, Ph.D., chair and professor of criminal justice, are excited about how this advanced degree will enhance the department's research capabilities.
