What type of criminal justice or social science background do applicants need?
The program does not require any particular background or undergraduate college coursework in criminal justice or social science. Of course, applicants with criminal justice, law enforcement and investigative experience are especially welcome. All applicants, however, should be prepared to demonstrate a capacity to succeed in criminal justice and law courses that require substantial reading and writing at the graduate level. Demonstration of this capacity may be based upon such factors as grades in social science or humanities courses, personal publications, and the verbal and analytical writing score on the GRE’s.
