Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø adds Master of Science in Criminal Justice
Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø recently received approval from the
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to add a major
in Criminal Justice under the existing Master of Science degree,
effective Fall 1998.
In a Fall 1995 survey of 200 graduates of Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø's baccalaureate
criminal justice program, 77.8 percent believed a M.S. in criminal
justice would make them more employable.
"We anticipate building a program that will be a major contribution
to the university and to the region," said Dr. J. Michael Brooks,
head of Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø's Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice
Department. "I am also very proud of all the faculty in this
department who have worked very long and very hard to earn this
honor and of the university administration who went to bat for us
in this effort."
The M.S. with a major in Criminal Justice will be a
thesis/non-thesis master's degree program composed of 30 semester
hours, four of which are core courses.
Students must pass a written comprehensive exam over all core
course work. Students may complete the program on a full-time or
part-time basis.
Applications for admission to the program are now being accepted by
the Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍø Graduate School. For more information, call the Sociology,
Anthropology and Criminal Justice Department at 229-333-5943 or the
Graduate School at 229-333-5694.
