概述

For the majority of 刑事司法 and 犯罪学 majors and 小s, preparation revolves around entry into the workforce and occupations. A smaller proportion of 刑事司法 and 犯罪学 majors and 小s aspire to graduate education or law school, which indicates that we need a curriculum that is of high quality and efficient: focused on (a) basic conceptual and theoretical understandings, (b) methodological inquiry, (c) statistical/data analysis and (d) practical information. Elective courses reflect mainstream, substantive areas that are relevant to the field, and are also typical of courses offered by many other CJC programs in the United States.

Students have the opportunity to participate in internships from various criminal justice agencies throughout the 丹佛 Metropolitan area including probation departments in various counties as well as municipalities. Other agencies include Colorado Parole Department, 公设辩护律师事务所, 警察部门, 治安官办公室, and other ancillary agencies in Colorado such as half-way houses, 安全之家, rape awareness and assistance programs, 地方检察官办公室.

刑事司法 and 犯罪学 Major

The 刑事司法 and 犯罪学 program at 密歇根州立大学丹佛 offers a course of study leading to a 理学学士 degree in CJC. This 120-credit degree appeals to students who are interested in working in the fields of: law, 执法, 缓刑和假释, corrections or other related social service agencies. This degree also prepares students to undertake graduate school in criminal justice or other related fields as well as law schools.

The 刑事司法 and 犯罪学 B.S. program also welcomes students returning to school who are interested in earning their degree to assist in furthering their career goals. Recognizing that many people who are interested in such education are already employed in some form of criminal justice work, and that many people have completed course-work at the community college level, the curriculum is also structured to facilitate transfer from two-year police science/criminal justice programs. The department has articulation agreements with Colorado community colleges to facilitate students to transfer from community colleges to 密歇根州立大学丹佛.

Students must meet 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s and the Department of 刑事司法 and 犯罪学’s requirements for the bachelor’s degree, which includes the successful completion of General Studies courses, courses related to the Minor of your choice, and the core and elective courses available to all 刑事司法 and 犯罪学 majors.
