Department of Criminal Justice/Fire
Safety/Security Administration offers a
Bachelor of Science degree program which
combines professional studies in the
fields of criminal justice (law
enforcement or courts, probation,
corrections, parole and juvenile justice)
with studies in fire science, and safety
and security administration. The
degree program is designed for individuals
who are currently involved in the fields
of criminal justice, juvenile justice,
fire science and safety and security, as
well as for those students who seek
careers in these related fields. All
course work is offered on a dual track
basis, whereby the student, and
particularly the in-service student, has
the option to attend the same class at two
different times during the same day, at
either 9:00 A.M. or 7:00 P.M This
system was adopted to accommodate students
with varying work schedules. Students
who choose to major in Criminal
Justice/Fire Safety/Security
Administration will be required to take a
39 credit specialization in one of the
four professional
concentrations: Criminal
Justice/Law Enforcement (Track I),
Criminal Justice/Courts, Probation,
Corrections, Parole and Juvenile Justice
(Track II), Fire Science and Safety and
Security Administration. All majors are
required to complete a minimum 39 credits
of Criminal Justice/Fire Safety
Administration courses in
residence. All
Criminal Justice/Fire Safety/Security
Administration majors who qualify may be
eligible for the Cooperative Education
Program. One of the major objectives of
the program is to combine classroom
learning with practical experience and to
provide a realistic, in-the-field
laboratory for skills and knowledge that
ordinarily would be acquired in the
classroom. Students
can earn up to 12 credits in Cooperative
Education with a maximum 6 credits in any
one experience. Dr. Bohdan

Yaworsky The Master
of Science degree program in Criminal
Justice is a practitioner oriented and
theroetically grounded course of advanced
study, which prepares students for further
advanced graduate work and/or professional
education. It is intended for personnel
working in the Criminal Justice system and
for students preparing for such
careers. The
program requires 36 graduate credits
distributed among a core of advanced
criminal justice courses, track
requirements, and electives. It is a
part-time degree program with students
usually taking between 6 and 9 credits per
semester. Many students also take
advantage of the opportunity to take up to
6 credits during the summer semesters. All
courses are offered on a fully dual-track
basis, with the same course being given
during both day and evening hours to allow
students on varying work schedules to
attend. |
