Start with a Dream.  Finish with a Future.

  Application Process

The course is restricted to Criminology majors (and minors with permission of the Internship Director) who are in the final year of their studies.  The course is offered in the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.  Students should begin the process of seeking a placement 2-3 months* prior to the semester they intend to do an internship. Interested students should proceed as follows: 

1.      Complete and submit a Field Placement Application to an Internship Director.

2.      Schedule a meeting with a Director to discuss possible placements.

3.      Upon approval of a Director, begin the application process for the selected agency.

4.      Upon being approved by an agency, provide written confirmation to a Director.

5.      No later than 2 weeks prior to the semester in which you will be enrolled in CRM 435, provide the Director with the contact information for the person who will be supervising your internship.

6.      Prior to the 1^st class, arrange hours with agency supervisor. (Note. Students who wish to start their hours before the first class need permission of the Internship Director. Hours completed more than 2 weeks prior to the first class cannot be counted toward the 130 hour requirement.)

 * Placements with federal agencies are competitive, often require a GPA > 3.0, and can take more than a year to secure.
