CRJS 405 Practicum
Each student must successfully complete one or more practicum experiences totaling 3-9 hours of academic credit, where 40 clock hours on location equals one hour of credit. Ideally each practicum should be based on a criminal justice related agency (court, probation office, correctional facility, local police station or sheriff's department, etc.), which specializes in some aspect of the criminal justice system. However, agencies or practices that heavily intersect with the criminal justice system, or some aspect of the criminal justice system will also be considered. Ideally an on-site supervisor with an appropriate degree or license will supervise the student's practicum.
