Justice Studies Honors Program

Qualified students interested in extending their studies in Criminal Justice or Legal Studies beyond the basic requirements for the majors are encouraged to enter the Justice Studies Honors Program. Students apply for the Justice Studies Honors Program after completion of their third college semester or completion of 42 hours of college courses and enter the program after completion of their fourth semester or completion of 55 hours of college courses. To be accepted into the program, students must have at least a 3.0 GPA overall or at least a 3.25 GPA in Justice Studies coursework.

The courses in the Justice Studies Honors program will combine accelerated learning opportunities for students, cross-cultural learning experiences and opportunities for collaborative research projects with faculty, including a thesis option. The Justice Studies Honors courses will be offered in the fall semester of each academic year. Currently, two alternate courses are offered: CJ/LS 442, Federal Justice System Policy, and CJ/LS 442, Advanced Criminal Justice and Legal Studies Research.
