CJ 4020 - Senior Seminar: Research Component


This 4-credit full semester course is the second component to the completion of your CJ capstone courses. Following the student’s completion of CJ-4010, this course will be offered in the spring of each academic year and focuses on research into the realm of criminal justice. This course will focus on strengthening your analytical and problem solving skills, research skills, your understanding of how research may impact the policies that affect the contemporaneous CJ systems in the United States, and the actual means of conducting extensive, detailed research and analysis of a chosen topic area. Students that enroll into this course will be required to provide an oral presentation of their research in a public setting, and to also complete a written thesis of their work. The implication of research is well connected to the overall CJ system, and often times based upon or connected to social policy. Students enrolled into this course are required to have access to a laptop, I-Pad or device that can be used for research tutorials during class time.  Prerequisite: Seniors only, minimum GPA of a 2.0 Credits: 4
