Prerequisite
CJA 449
Course Description
Supervised senior project undertaken by students of criminal justice when they have completed all core courses in the program. Coordinated by full-time faculty and chaired by a criminal justice faculty member chosen by the student from previous courses taken within the program. Students select a committee and a viable topic in criminal justice to research and then meet with a committee member once a week for two months. Upon completion, students present their project to the committee, other faculty and peers in an open forum. Grading is by "H" (for Honors, "B" or better work), "S" (for Marginal, "C" level work) or "U" (Unsatisfactory, "D" or below). Accelerated study is not permitted with CJA 470. CJA 470 is two months in length. Students who do not complete the Senior Project within the two-month period are eligible, at the discretion of the instructor, to receive a grade of "K" with a maximum of a one-time, six-month extension. Students who do not complete the project at the end of the extension period will need to retake CJA 470. No grade of "I" can be given for this course.
