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.
