Students who have a minimum overall GPA of 3.00, and B's or better in their criminology and criminal justice courses, are eligible to apply to the accelerated master's program in the spring semester of their junior year.
Upon provisional and conditional acceptance to the M.A. program, students select a concentration and begin M.A. coursework. Students can take up to 12 credits of M.A. coursework their senior year (2 courses in the fall and 2 courses in the spring) to count towards the B.A. in CCJ.
To graduate with both degrees in five years, students will need to take an additional class during the summer or as a fourth class one semester in the final year of the program.
