पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program provides students with opportunities to develop a knowledge base that enhances understanding of criminal behavior and the workings of the criminal justice system. Core requirements give students experience in using various methods of research, analyzing and interpreting data, understanding and critiquing the main theoretical traditions in the field, and examining the organization of the criminal justice system. Furthermore, course electives enable students to focus on more specific interests (e.g., corrections, youth justice, etc.). Students will also be exposed to the significance of inequality in the way that criminal justice is administered. The theme of inequality is incorporated into the graduate program as it is in the undergraduate program. In particular, structural forms of oppression are examined and emphasis is placed on issues of social justice, human rights, and treatment/rehabilitation. This program provides an opportunity for both intellectual and professional development. The program serves those students with undergraduate degrees in criminology (or a related social science) who are interested in pursuing the advanced study of crime and justice. The program also serves those who have been employed in organizations and agencies who wish to expand their knowledge and understanding in ways that may enhance their professional careers. The Plan B is designed for those individuals attracted to a more experiential program, especially for more career related pursuits. A practicum involves supervised, direct work experience that culminates in a Plan B project. The student must register for 10 credits of CRIM 8600 Criminology Practicum.

अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विद्यार्थीहरू प्रवेशको लागि आवश्यकता

Students must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited U.S. institution or a foreign equivalent for admission to the master’s program. Preference is given to applicants with undergraduate degrees in criminology, criminal justice, corrections, or sociology. Applicants with an undergraduate minor in criminology, criminal justice, corrections, sociology, law enforcement, or a major in a related field may also be considered. Undergraduate degrees in criminology, criminal justice, corrections, sociology, or a related field from foreign universities may also be considered as long as those degrees are equivalent to a four-year American university baccalaureate degree. Admission to the program is competitive. Students must have successfully completed an introduction to criminology or criminal justice course, the equivalent of one semester of research methods and/or statistics beyond the introductory level, and a course devoted primarily to social/behavioral theory. The minimum GPA for admissions is normally 3.00. Students with a GPA lower than 3.00 may occasionally be admitted where other credentials indicate a high likelihood of success in the program. International students whose native language is not English also are required to submit scores from the TOEFL examination.
