Overview

Nichols College's Criminal Psychology program is more than an education. Our faculty and students are connected to local, state and federal law enforcement groups, including the Worcester Attorney General’s office, Massachusetts State Police, and the FBI.

While we all are enthralled by what we see on TV or hear on podcasts, Criminal Psychology takes you much, much deeper. It’s exciting. It’s mysterious. It’s challenging and rewarding. At Nichols, you’ll learn skills that can be used in a number of roles across the criminal justice system. You can protect the innocent, fix the system, and earn a real emotional return on your educational investment.
