The field
experience can be one of the most informative and rewarding
activities of your undergraduate years. We will work closely
with you and the agency to ensure that this time is
professionally rewarding and beneficial to the organization.
The experience gained, the contacts made, and the letter of
recommendation provided by the agency at the end of the
experience can all prove invaluable. Criminal Justice majors
gain practical experience, develop insights into the problems of
agency operation and have the opportunity to blend theory and
practice.
Although not required
beginning with the 2006-2007 catalog, Field Work is highly
recommended. Also, students may take up to 3 credits of
CJA 493 internship to count as upper-division CJA electives.
See your advisor to
find out if this option is beneficial with your graduation plan.
