CJ 9840 - Theory & Practice: Capstone Project

6 - 12 credits

The Capstone Project is a significant undertaking appropriate to the criminal justice field and reflects originality and independent thinking. The project must be a systematically organized effort with appropriate form and methodology. Projects may vary considerably, from developing a prototype service/program to undertaking a media project. A written abstract is required and includes an articulated rationale, explained significance of project, identified objectives and conclusions/recommendations. The student works under the supervision of a faculty member and if appropriate, in cooperation with an approved criminal justice field site. The focus of the project must be approved by the Graduate Committee on Criminal Justice.
