As of Fall 2007:

The Department of Criminal Justice Administration (CJA) became the Department of Criminal Justice (CJ).  All classes are now listed with "CJ"

Incoming freshmen CJ majors will be required to complete MATH130 Finite Math or higher to fulfill MATH requirement for major (formerly MATH124)

As of Fall 2006:

BSU Diversity Requirement:

 If your catalog is the 2006-2007 catalog, you must meet the Diversity Requirement (3 credits) to graduate with an Associate's or Bachelor's degree.  SOC101, which is required for CJ majors, meets this requirement.

Fall 2006 Course Number and Course Title Changes:

Lower division changes:

CJA 101 is now CJ 103 Introduction to Law and Justice

CJA 201 is now CJ 101 Introduction to Criminal Justice

CJA 215 is now CJ 102  Introduction to Police

CJA 281 is now CJ 104 Introduction to Corrections

Upper division changes:

CJ 315 was re-titled "Theories of Crime"

CJ 317 was re-titled "Juvenile Justice"

CJ 425 was re-titled "Research Methods"

CJ 426 was re-titled "Statistics"

CJ 498 was re-titled "Senior Seminar"

CJA 275 & 276 are now CJ 375 & 376

If you took these classes prior to Fall 2006, when they were CJA 275 and 276, they will count as upper division credits towards graduation with a CJ Major. 

However, they WILL NOT count towards the University's required upper division credits required for graduation.

See the CJ Peer Advisor for clarification.

Need to take upper division courses but you aren't in upper division?

The Department of Criminal Justice has upper division classes that are open to: 1) Social Science majors with primary emphasis in Criminal Justice; and 2) CJ majors not yet in upper division
