Criminal Justice Internship is for students majoring in criminal justice who have no prior experience in the field. Students are required to work and observe operations at a participating agency for a minimum of 15 hours per week during a regular fall or spring semester, or a minimum of 30 hours per week during a summer semester. They also participate in three seminars scheduled throughout the semester. This course may be repeated once for a maximum of 6 credit hours.
