Tuition & Financial Aid
Take advantage of Curry's competitive, affordable, fixed tuition for the Master of Arts in Criminal Justice (MACJ) degree - with no additional course fees. When you know your total cost before you enter the program, you can better manage the investment in your professional education.
TUITION
For MACJ programs starting in Fall 2011 or Spring 2012:
The fixed tuition is $17,450 (approximately $563 per credit X 31 credits).
FINANCIAL AID
At the Curry College Student Financial Services Office, you'll find staff members who work exclusively with graduate students to provide the right advice, friendly service, and personal support. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 pm. Evening appointments are available upon request. For more information, call (617) 333-2354. Students who wish to apply for Financial Aid must be admitted to a graduate degree program before their financial aid application will be considered. Students must maintain half-time enrollment to remain eligible for financial aid.
If you are applying for financial aid, your financial aid award is determined by calculating your cost of attendance for the academic year minus your expected family contribution which is determined by your FAFSA information. Your cost of attendance is comprised of your direct costs for tuition and, if applicable, any additional fees plus other indirect related education expenses such as books and supplies, living expenses, and transportation costs, etc. The total of your direct and indirect costs equals your cost of attendance.
Your Financial Aid Counselor will estimate your total cost of attendance by adding your tuition and fee cost to the following indirect expenses when determining your eligibility for financial aid:
| Books/Supplies* | $800 |
| Room/Board** | $8,033 |
| Transportation | $2,000 |
| Personal | $1,000 |
| Total Indirect Costs | $11,833 |
Note: Indirect expenses are based on average costs expected for the academic year.
*Allowance is for those enrolled in 12 or more credits per semester. The Books/Supplies Allowance is adjusted based on your actual anticipated enrollment.
**This allowance is for students who do not reside in a parent's or relative's home.
Curry College's knowledgeable staff can help you understand your options for financing your education. You can apply for financial aid throughout the calendar year, but getting started early is important to help you meet the deadlines and qualifications.
If you are interested in applying for financial aid, take the first easy step by contacting the Curry Continuing Education Office nearest you and make an appointment with our advisor or request more information.

Two cases of exonerated individuals were the focus of "The Innocence Panel," a discussion hosted at Curry College in the Spring of 2012.
"I tell my students at the beginning of each semester, 'In my class, I need you to bring your 'A' game...everyday.' We really do take it to another level," says Criminal Justice Professor Jen Balboni.
"My Curry College degree has enhanced my career. I believe I am now able to better communicate with citizens, co-workers, and supervisors."
"The professors I've had in the courses I have taken have had an enormous positive effect on not only my job performance, but on me as well. I have learned a lot through the MACJ program and will use what I have learned throughout the rest of my career."
"I knew a master's degree from Curry College would be of great value. I was impressed with the course offerings and felt as though I could learn a bundle of new information pertaining to criminal justice that had not been covered during my undergrad work."
