CJ 9860 - Option III: Thesis

The Capstone Thesis is supervised, systematic research or analytical study of a significant problem/issue, which results in an original, written product. Students are challenged to think independently and critically throughout the process of developing the study. The paper must reflect an organized effort with an appropriate and useful format through which to discuss a comprehensive review of the literature, problem identification, assumptions, significance of the study, sources and methods of gathering and analyzing information, and conclusions/recommendations. The student works under the supervision of a faculty member, and the topic of the thesis must be approved by the Graduate Committee on Criminal Justice.

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