1 To be admitted as a major in the program under Option B, a transfer student must have received an accredited associate degree in corrections, law enforcement, police administration, police science, or a similar field of criminal justice and must have a 2.5 cumulative grade-point average on a 4.0 grading system. For criminal justice studies majors who have completed the basic requirements for an accredited two-year criminal justice degree, 60 semester hours beyond the associate degree is suggested, which includes a minimum of 21 semester hours in the program. The Liberal Studies Curriculum is required for all criminal justice studies transfer majors in addition to the baccalaureate degree requirements if they were not included in the candidates' associate degree programs. |
