Overview

Applicants to the Criminal Justice program at Jacksonville State University who meet the general admission requirements of Graduate Studies (and criminal justice & forensic investigation department requirements) are eligible for admission to the Master of Science with a major in criminal justice program.

A particular undergraduate major is not specified for admission to the program; however, additional courses for non-criminal justice majors may be required. Students accepted to the Master of Science with a major in criminal justice program must meet with the graduate advisor.

An advisory committee will be selected to assist the student in developing a degree plan that satisfies University and department requirements.
