Crime and Justice Studies (CJS) is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree. The curriculum develops knowledge of the criminal justice system, theories of criminal behavior, law, administration and policy. Courses also involve the study of issues and conditions confronting and changing the criminal justice system. Students participate in the practice of criminal justice through internship in law enforcement, pre-law or social service agencies. Students admitted into CJS must have earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 and have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours, including ENG 1100 , with a C grade, and any other two G.E. courses. Majors are required to complete five CJS core requirements, including an internship; seven courses in CJS Foundation Areas and three CJS electives. A minor in CJS requires 21 hours. Crime and Justice Studies Internship: Students may participate in supervised field experiences with corrections, probation/parole, law enforcement, and public defenders or prosecutor’s office. This class requires keeping a log and progress reports, as well as preparing a narrative report integrating readings and field experience. Student working in the field may choose to take the internship, but it must be completed in an agency in which the student is not currently employed or has been previously employed. Final approval and placement of interns will be at the discretion of the Internship Director. |
