debating to pursue a masters in criminal justice or public administration?

[David]

I received my criminal justice bachelors degree and have been accepted into John Jay for the MPA program. After sitting in on orientation and seeing the list of my classes, I began to question if this was truly the right major for me. My goal is to become a US Marshal but is not limited to that. I have an interest in federal law enforcement and am pursuing a graduate degree to have better education, get my foot in the door, and become a more attractive applicant once I begin applying for jobs. My two options are to continue public administration with a specialization in criminal justice policy and administration or get a masters in criminal justice with a specialization in police administration. The reason for this continued study is that in the future I want to be promoted and become an administrator in the criminal justice field without having to go back to school in my later years to continue my education...i would rather do it now right out of college.
