Students may transfer no more than 6 semester hours of lower-division Public Justice electives. Additional criminal justice courses count as credits toward graduation, but not toward completing the major. All transfer students are required to complete at least 42 upper division credits in order to graduate. To get credit for PBJ 201, you must provide at least a course description and a syllabus for the course that you completed. No student will be given transfer credit for PBJ 201 without approval of the Public Justice Department.
All courses taken at a community college are lower-division courses.
That means that a transfer student with a two-year degree must expect to complete 15 semester hours of upper division Public Justice electives at SUNY Oswego, as well as the remaining required core courses, plus enough other courses numbered 300 and above to earn 42 upper division credits. Transfer students should consult the College Catalog for transfer credit policies. You should be aware that most of the required Public Justice courses must be completed at Oswego and not at another institution. PBJ 301, PBJ 397, and PBJ 401 must be taken at SUNY Oswego . Students attending two-year colleges are strongly urged to take courses in subjects outside their proposed SUNY Oswego major, particularly in the areas of mathematics, natural sciences, and humanities.
