Admission Requirements

1. Completed an undergraduate degree, from an accredited university or college, with coursework in the socio-behavioral sciences sufficient to prepare for graduate-level study in the criminal justice and criminology field.
2. Achieved a minimum of 2.75 GPA in all undergraduate work, with a 3.0 GPA for courses within the socio-behavioral sciences area.
3. Completed undergraduate courses in statistics, research methods, and theories of crime.

Students who do not meet admission requirements, but who otherwise show promise for graduate work, may be admitted provisionally to the program. Provisional admission means deficiencies must be corrected before a student is fully admitted as a degree-seeking student in the M.S.-CJC program. Typical deficiencies include a need to take undergraduate coursework to prepare for graduate study in this program, or to demonstrate scholastic ability in graduate-level courses.
