Internships

The Criminology major requires two semesters of internship (CRI 197AB), each with a minimum of 100 hours. Internships give our students the advantage of acquiring experience in the field, identifying areas of special interest, and networking. Graduate schools are also highly favorable to applicants who have field work experience. Upon successful completion of their internships, over 80% of students receive job offers upon graduation.
