The Criminal Justice & Criminology Department is offering students the opportunity to earn three credits for current employment in the criminal justice field.
The criminal justice and criminology field program places students in criminal justice-related settings where they gain real-world experience and earn three credits. The courses associated with field placement are Criminal Justice 311 and Criminal Justice 999.
Students with current relevant employment would use their employment as the field placement portion. They would still need to fulfill the academic portion of the course, which includes writing assignments.
Students employed in these jobs may be eligible to earn three credits
- Police officer
- Community service officer
- Probation/parole agent
- Correctional officer
- Paralegal or legal secretary
- Case manager or counselor for justice-impacted adults or youth
- Another position in the criminal justice field
Students can submit online application
This opportunity is open to Criminal Justice & Criminology students with junior standing or above. Students can complete an online application for upcoming semesters.
