CJ 9820 - Option I: Internship

The Capstone Internship is a supervised, field-based (300 hours) learning experience in an approved criminal justice agency. Responsibilities can include administration, case/clinical work, training and development or research. The student is responsible for systematically applying theoretical concepts in an applied and practical way to the work of the organization and contributing to the goals of the criminal justice system. Placement is facilitated through the Field Placement Office, Department of Behavioral Sciences, in accordance with departmental policies. The internship is monitored by a faculty member who conducts on-site evaluations of the student’s skills and competencies. Students are required to meet as a group in a seminar class; assignments include a paper discussing a literature review of relevance to the internship and a discussion of the application of the literature to the field experience.

The MS in Criminal Justice Program is currently on hold and therefore courses are not being offered.
