The following program was recommended by the Academic Senate on December
7, 1995
and approved by the President on January 10, 1996. The
program in criminal justice offers the bachelor of science degree
to individuals interested in seeking a comprehensive education leading
to a professional career in criminal justice. The program is designed
to accommodate the needs of the continuing student, the transfer
student and the experienced criminal justice practitioner.
Students intending to transfer from community colleges to this University
for a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice are advised
to complete general education requirements while attending the community
college. A maximum of 24 units of lower division criminal justice
courses are acceptable for transfer. Fifteen units will be accepted
for CRIM 101, 151, 155, 157 and 161, if equivalent subject matter
has been completed at a community college. It should be understood
that these will not satisfy upper division major requirements. For
additional information, students should contact the department office.
Requirements
All students are required to take a minimum of 42 units of criminal
justice course work to meet the departmental requirements for a
bachelors degree in criminal justice: 27 units are CORE, 3 units
are prerequisite to the CORE, 12 units are elective.
The CORE courses listed below cannot be taken until CRIM 101, which
is a 3 unit prerequisite, is taken and passed. The 27 units of required
courses that constitute the CORE are: CRIM 301, 303, 331, 351, 404,
468, 480, 483, 495. All CORE courses must be passed with a grade
of "C" or better. Specifically, any CORE courses in which a student
receives a final grade of "D" or "F" must be repeated until a grade
of "C" or higher is achieved.
In addition, students will also be required to complete 12 units
of upper division criminal justice electives, which may be taken
before, concurrently, or after the CORE courses. (Note: CRIM 101
is prerequisite to CORE courses only). The electives are non CORE
criminal justice courses that must be selected from any 300 or 400
classes listed in the CSULB Catalog.
