The School of Criminal Justice values experiential learning as a key component to undergraduate and graduate studies. Internships, research, and field experiences can help students make informed decisions regarding their educational and career experiences. An internship can be a great, hands-on way to learn more about a specific aspect of the criminal justice field. It's also a terrific way to make professional contacts.
Master's students have the option to take a 3-credit fieldwork course (27:202:556) after completing at least two required courses (6 credits). During the semester prior to enrollment in the fieldwork course, interested students must obtain the approval of the M.A. Program Director to supervise their fieldwork placement. Please note: Only one fieldwork course may be taken during the M.A. program.
