The program is designed to both enhance students' existing capabilities and to develop unique competencies and skills for future academic/career goals. Criminal justice involves the study of crime from a systems perspective. Far from being a narrowly defined law enforcement or correctional program, criminal justice is an interdisciplinary and professionally oriented academic discipline concentrating on many aspects of crime and the concepts that impact on our system of justice. Accordingly, to prepare students for the various positions within criminal justice, the program seeks to develop a broad foundation of knowledge pertaining to crime and its ancillary issues. The curriculum for criminal justice students is interdisciplinary in nature and includes courses that will provide students with the research and analytical skills necessary for understanding the nature of justice and the issues that affect its implementation. In addition to classroom learning, the department makes numerous opportunities available to students, including internships and a variety of student organizations.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 500  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 565  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $478  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $7192  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
