CRJ 111*, 117*; plus 9 additional hours of CRJ coursework (MSU will NOT
accept more than 15 hours of criminal justice course work)
*These classes will
transfer for CJ credit and may be used to waive requirements at MSU in
accordance with the following policy.
"The present policy
is that if a course transfers in as general CJ credit, but may have
covered the course material of a required course, the student may
request a waiver by collecting the syllabus, course materials (including
quizzes/tests, and notes from these courses), and text that he or she
may still have from the course, and contact the faculty who teach the
course to request the waiver. The instructor will review and
evaluate the materials and determine if a waiver will be granted. If the
waiver is granted, the course is waived. If the course waived is a 300
level course, the student will be required to take a 400 level course in
the same topic area." |
