专业概况

在这里学什么？

This Integrated Undergraduate/Graduate program (IUG) provides an opportunity for academically strong students to complete a bachelor of science degree in criminology and a master’s degree in public policy in the course of approximately five years of study. The public policy curriculum and criminology curriculum cover require similar technical and analytic skills and provide complementary substantive knowledge – criminal justice is an important area of policy making from a public policy standpoint and it is critical to understand the policy process to understand the structure and impacts of criminal justice policies.

Students in the MPP are required to complete an elective specialization of four courses. Students in the Criminology-MPP IUG will take two 400 and two 500 level courses in their fourth year of study that will double count for both the Criminology BS and MPP.

PLAN OF STUDY

Prior to admission to the program, and in consultation with their criminology and public policy advisors, students must prepare a detailed plan of study for years 4 and 5 of the program. The plan is periodically reviewed by the student and advisors, and revised as necessary. Most students will complete all requirements for the BS in criminology and complete some graduate level MPP requirements in the first four years, and take only MPP courses in year 5.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Students must fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the double-counting of credits as outlined below. Degree requirements for the B.S. in Criminology are listed in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Degree requirements for the M.P.P. degree are listed on the Degree Requirements tab. Up to 12 credits may be double-counted towards the degree requirements for both the graduate and undergraduate degrees; a minimum of 50% of the double-counted courses must be at the 500 or 800 level. Credits associated with the culminating experience for the graduate degree cannot be double-counted. The courses that are eligible to double count for both degrees are: CRIM 424, CRIM 430, CRIM 433, CRIM 435, CRIM 490, CRIM 501, CRIM 512, CRIM 597.

Students must sequence their courses so all undergraduate degree requirements are fulfilled before taking courses to count towards the graduate degree. If students accepted into the IUG program are unable to complete the M.P.P. degree, they are still eligible to receive their undergraduate degree if all the undergraduate degree requirements have been satisfied.
