After Graduation Faculty Curriculum Required courses span the criminological spectrum of theory and practice. Courses examine the causes of crime as well as the various approaches taken in society's response to crime. Practice-related courses focus on society's response to criminal behavior. Internships with a criminal justice or allied agency are also required of all majors. Previous intern sites have ranged from the United States Secret Service to the City of New York Police Department to the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office to the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department to Green Haven Correctional Facility.
Many more sites covering the range of criminal justice interests are available.
Courses related to the major are periodically added or subtracted in response to institutional and social change, and input from the students. Contact Dr. John Doherty John. All Rights Reserved.
